FBI Raids Home of Former Trump Advisor Dimitri Simes
Simes, now a Russian media figure, claims the search was politically motivated and aimed at preventing his return to the U.S.
- The FBI conducted a court-authorized raid on Simes' Virginia property on August 13.
- Simes, who advised Trump's 2016 campaign, was mentioned extensively in the Mueller report.
- He claims the raid was an intimidation tactic by the Biden administration.
- Simes has not been in the U.S. since October 2022 and was unaware of any investigation.
- His son alleges the raid is part of a broader effort to stifle pro-Russian voices and escalate tensions.
