- FBI agents searched Melania Trump’s closet during the Mar-a-Lago raid last month.
- The former first lady felt violated by strangers rummaging through her belongings, friends told Radar Online.
- She bought new underwear because she felt as though her belongings had been “contaminated,” her friends claimed.
Former first lady Melania Trump felt violated after FBI agents “contaminated” her home while executing a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago last month, her friends claimed, per The Times of London and Radar Online.
FBI agents searched the former first lady’s closet during the raid, which was part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents, a source told Politico last month.
Former President Donald Trump, her husband, was reportedly furious about this, later writing on Truth Social that her closet at the Florida property was left a “mess” after the raid. And the former first lady found the process of FBI agents rummaging through her belongings invasive, expressing particular concern at her underwear having been touched, her friends said, per reports.
“Melania doesn’t like the idea of strangers going rifling through her things. Who knows who touched her underwear during the raid? She’s never going to feel comfortable wearing those ever again,” a friend said, per The Times, citing a Radar Online report.
