Donald Trump |
Trump is calling for the release of the search warrant affidavit used to raid his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Today, the Florida Judge who approved the FBI search of former President Donald J. Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate will hold a hearing. He will decide whether to unseal the affidavit used to justify that search Trump is calling for its release in the interest of transparency.
Today we could learn more about why the FBI sought that search warrant to search Donald Trump's Florida residence, and as Trump and his allies ramp up their attacks on federal law enforcement, one prominent Republican is telling them to stop it.
This afternoon, a federal magistrate judge is set to hear arguments over a request to unseal the affidavit. That's the sworn legal document laying out the evidence and rationale underlying the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Trump has demanded its complete release, and he has the support of many top Republicans.
Several media organizations are asking the court to unseal the affidavit, but the justice department is strongly opposed, arguing that doing so could compromise their ongoing investigation into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified information and presidential records.
The FBI has warned that after the search of Mar-a-Lago, there was an increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials. The FBI is attempting to defend itself.
Mike Pence is making news on another front. He is saying that he would consider testifying before the January 6 committee. The committee investigators have been negotiating with Pence and his representatives for months. It would be an extraordinary and unprecedented situation.
Mike Pence needs to sit down and shut up. He isn't even relevant anymore. So disappointed in him. The also need to unseal the affidavit. This is just a lynch mob out to get Trump and needs to be stopped.
ReplyDeleteThe FBI is the most reliably conservative parts of the federal government. Perhaps trump cultists need to reconsider whether the issue is trump.
DeleteYup. To a large degree, 'ol Mikey boy is the reason we're all in this mess to begin with. He had ONE JOB on 1/6/21, so I'm not interested in ANYTHING he has to say now.. #StolenElection #TrumpWon #UltraMAGA
DeleteAgree pence needs to get loss
DeleteTo the person who said that the FBI is the most conservative part of the federal government, you may be correct about the normal employee, but the FBI leadership is certainly NOT conservative! They are representatives of the radical Left. In general, members of the government are part of the Administrative State. They are squarely in opposition to President Trump and his objectives.
DeleteThey will only let Pence testify if his testimony helps THEM convict Trump.
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteIsn't a bad idea having the same judge that made it decide if it needs released????????
ReplyDeleteTrump didn't break the law on Jan 6th, I welcome Pence's testimony, in the interest of transparency.
ReplyDeleteProbably the only reason they pulled a raid on the best President in American history is to find out if he has any evidence against them!
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!!!!
DeleteDonald J Trump was the Best President to serve and save this USA in many years FBI is as dirty as the Biden crime family.
ReplyDeletePence knows his political career is over. Not one Republican would even vote for him for dog catcher. He abandoned Trump and the Republicans. Now look at what he let happen. Nothing but an evil country. He will pay!
