Right-wing groups in the US are holding armed rallies against the FBI, with one field office of the bureau attacked by a gunman.

A raid last week by agents on Donald Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, opened the floodgates of anger after classified government documents were found on the premises. 

Trump has now called for calm, but maintains the FBI’s raid was part of a witch-hunt and that he has done nothing wrong.

Today, world editor at The Saturday Paper Jonathan Pearlman on what the FBI were looking for when they raided Trump’s home.
