Former President Trump has replied to a Washington Post report that argued he was urgently looking to bolster his legal team after the famous FBI raid on his private Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the report "fake news" and claimed he was innocent of any wrongdoing.

"The WAPO story that 'Trump is scrambling to add seasoned lawyers' to the Mar-a-Lago Raid case is, as usual, FAKE NEWS," he wrote. "I already have excellent and experienced lawyers - am very happy with them."

The Washington Post published a report on Tuesday — titled "Trump is rushing to hire seasoned lawyers — but he keeps hearing 'No'" — in which the outlet claimed that Trump's current legal team does not have anyone with federal case experience.

"The struggle to find expert legal advice puts Trump in a bind as he faces potential criminal exposure from records dispute with the National Archives that escalated into a federal investigation into possible violations of the Espionage Act and other statutes," the outlet noted.

"Everyone is saying no," the report continued, mentioning "a prominent Republican lawyer, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations."

The Jeff Bezos-owned paper continued to say: "Once again, Trump is struggling to find a veteran criminal defense lawyer with a strong track record of dealing with the Justice Department in a sprawling, multipronged investigation."

Trump has been repeatedly critical of the FBI's raid.

"This is highly political prosecutorial misconduct, I have not been charged with anything and, most importantly, I did nothing wrong. Thank you!" he continued in Wednesday's post.

The Washington Post reported the utterly fake news that "Trump and close aides have spent the eight days since the FBI searched his Florida home rushing to assemble a team of respected defense lawyers," yet, in the words of one person who's lying, "everyone is saying no." They reported that while representing a former president of the United States would likely be a high point of most people's careers, "it obviously becomes less appealing when that former POTUS is Donald Trump."

As one lawyer recounted to the Post, Trump's legal team once urged the then president "against tweeting about the Mueller probe, only to find he'd tweeted about it before they got to the end of the West Wing driveway." Others said he was "nearly impossible to represent and that it would be unclear if they would ever get paid."
