President Joe Biden and White House aides were not given a heads up or briefed on the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate and learned about the search from public reports, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday.

“The Justice Department conducts investigations independently and we leave any law enforcement matters to them,” Jean-Pierre said. “It would not be appropriate for us to comment on any ongoing investigations.”
