The "unprecedented" raid on Donald Trump's Florida home has sent shockwaves across the US, sparking threats of retailiation from him and his allies.

The FBI searched the former US president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, an operation believed to concern classified documents he took with him when he left office.

A federal search warrant must be signed by a judge and legal experts say this warrant was likely approved at the top levels of the Justice Department.
