    President Joe Biden ignored questions from reporters Tuesday regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-A-Largo home.

    The president can be seen walking by reporters and ignoring their questions on the topic the day after agents raided the former president's Florida residence.

    "President Biden, what did Attorney General Merrick Garland tell you about the Trump raid?" a reporter can be heard yelling to the president as he posed for a photo and "God Bless America" plays in the background.

    "Did you know about it in advance?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins can be heard asking as he leaves the room. Biden continues smiling and walks right by Collins and a slew of other reporters without responding or stopping.

    Trump announced the raid in a lengthy statement on Monday, decrying the FBI's actions as politicized and targeted.

    "These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," Trump wrote. "Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before."

    A senior administration official has reportedly said that the White House had "no advance knowledge" of the raid, adding that "Some learned from old media some from social media."

    The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire.

    Agents reportedly took numerous boxes and documents from Trump's home as part of an investigation into whether he mishandled classified national security information. The former president's Secret Service agents were made aware of the raid only moments before it took place, and though Trump was in New York City when it occurred, his lawyers were present.

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) warned Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday evening to prepare for Republicans to win back control of the House, warning that Garland will have to answer to Congress about the raid.

    "I've seen enough," McCarthy said in a statement. "The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization. When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned."

    "Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar," he added.

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?

  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.

  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.

  Who cares? It's Trump.

Inarguably, the policies of the Democrats in congress and Joe Biden as the Executive is plunging the United States into a recession, if we are not already there; a recession that was completely avoidable. Will abrupt changes in policies occur in time?

  Yes, the Democrats have a bold plan, yet to be revealed, to save us.

  No, there will have to be a complete undoing of the damage done by these Democrats.

  I can't do simple math, so how am I to understand the concept of basic economics.
