What was the actual motivation behind the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida Monday?  

What are the next steps after the FBI raid?

The answers to these questions remain to be discovered, especially since this is the first time in history that federal agents have had to search a previous President's home under an investigation into potentially classified documents being stored at their private residence.

The situation also brings up discussion on what types of classified documents should not have left the White House. Plus, how will this play out politically?

Our legal and political experts break down the latest details, along with thoughts and reactions from our listeners.
