Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Scott Perry had his cell phone seized by FBI agents Tuesday, the day after the FBI raided former President Donald Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago, he told Fox News.

Agents confronted Perry while he was traveling with his family and seized his phone without making an attempt to contact his attorney, who would have turned the phone over to the authorities, he told Fox News. Perry suggested the actions from the FBI in both the confiscation of his cell phone and the raiding of Mar-a-Lago belonged in a corrupt, third world country.

"As with President Trump last night, DOJ chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys," Perry told Fox. "These kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every Citizen — especially considering the decision before Congress this week to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to further persecute law-abiding Citizens."
