Former President Trump announced he "will do whatever" he can "to help the country" after the FBI's raid of his Mar-a-Lago home last week, explaining to Fox News Digital that the "temperature has to be brought down" while stressing that the American people are "not going to stand for another scam."

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump announced he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to suggest to help amid outrage over the FBI's unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, stating the records have been declassified.

"The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I've never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this," Trump announced.

"If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that," Trump stated.

"There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country — at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times," Trump stated.

Trump told Fox News that his team "has not heard yet" from the Justice Department on whether they will take his offer of assistance.

"I think they would want the same thing — I've never seen anything like this," Trump announced. "It is a very dangerous time for our country."

He continued: "I will do whatever I can to help the country."

Trump, reflecting on the "years of fake witch hunts and phony Russia, Russia, Russia schemes and scams," stated that "nothing happens to those people who perpetuate that — nothing happens with them."

"And then they break into a president's house — a sneak attack where it was totally — no one ever thought a thing like this would happen," Trump announced.

Trump explained to Fox News that FBI agents "break in and take whatever they want to take."

Trump said FBI agents said to his team on the Mar-a-Lago premises to "turn off the camera" and announced, "no one can go through the rooms."

"They could take anything they want, and put anything they want in," Trump announced of the FBI agents. "My people were asked to stand outside."

Trump continued to propose that the FBI "could have planted anything they wanted" throughout the raid.
