Questions Grow About Trump Raid After Revelation of Grand Jury Subpoena, Extensive Cooperation

Just The News:

Two months before his Florida home was raided by the FBI, former President Donald Trump secretly received a grand jury subpoena for classified documents belonging to the National Archives, and voluntarily cooperated by turning over responsive evidence, surrendering security surveillance footage and allowing federal agents and a senior Justice Department lawyer to tour his private storage locker, according to a half dozen people familiar with the incident.

While the cooperation was mostly arranged by his lawyers, Trump personally surprised the DOJ National Security Division prosecutor and three FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago compound on June 3, greeting them as they came to pick up a small number of documents compliant with the subpoena, the sources told Just the News, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the visit was covered by grand jury secrecy.

The subpoena requested any remaining documents Trump possessed with any classification markings, even if they involved photos of foreign leaders, correspondence or mementos from his presidency.

Secret Service agents were also present and facilitated the visit, officials said.

Trump signaled his full cooperation, telling the agents and prosecutor, “Look, whatever you need let us know,” according to two eyewitnesses. The federal team was surprised by the president’s invitation and asked for an immediate favor: to see the 6-foot-by-10-foot storage locker where his clothes, shoes, documents and mementos from his presidency were stored at the compound. 

Given Trump’s instruction, the president’s lawyers complied and allowed the search by the FBI before the entourage left cordially. Five days later, DOJ officials sent a letter to Trump’s lawyers asking them to secure the storage locker with more than the lock they had seen. The Secret Service installed a more robust security lock to comply.

Around the same time, the Trump Organization, which owns Mar-a-Lago, received a request for surveillance video footage covering the locker and volunteered the footage to federal authorities, sources disclosed.

The disclosure Wednesday to Just the News raised immediate new questions in legal and congressional circles about the necessity for the subsequent raid, including whether the judge who approved the warrant knew of the earlier cooperation. more here

    Remember the original “shot heard around the world”? The next one is swiftly approaching and the same outcome is going to occur from it.

  2. Obama has yet to return even one of the millions of documents he removed.

    What does Mister Equal Justice Without Fear Or Favor plan to do about it? Inquiring minds want to know. Peter Doocy should ask Press Sec’y Karine. The answer should be amusing.

  3. …they either groomed a nutter to make a stupid and hopeless attack on a FIBBIE office in Cincinnati or just drove someone over the edge with their blatantly illegal shit, whichis probably their intention so they can start grabbing guns before the election. Either way, the only thing the sad sack fired was a nail gun, and the cops killed him so they are free to tell whatever story serves the Communists the best.

  4. They won’t find the nuclear launch codes in Melania’s underwear drawer. I think that Brandon’s people do not have them. They should check above the visor on the President Trump golf cart…. maybe under the seat.
