By Ashe O Washington 12 August : The former US President Donald Trump demanded that the Department of Justice (DoJ) release all documents confiscated by the FBI in the aftermath of the raid at his Florida residence, as he believed that it could be evidence planted by the FBI and even an ex- Secret Service special agent claimed the raid on a former sitting chief in chief was “unprecedented”.
Trump took to his Facebook site Truth Social to claim that the FBI might have used evidence to cover up the raid that took place earlier this week at the Mar-a-Lago residence, without supporting his assertion with any piece of evidence.
The claim was made from the back of reports from sources that said to The Washington Post last Thursday that classified documents related to nuclear weapons were one of the things FBI agents were searching for in Florida.
“Nuclear issues with weapons are an Hoax similar to Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax and two impeachments were also a Hoax and the Mueller investigation was an Hoax and so on.The same sleazy people were who were involved.” Trump said in his website, which was cited by Fox News, known to be a partisan to the former President.
“Why why wouldn’t the FBI allow the inspection of areas at Mar-a-Lago with our lawyers or any other guests present.They made them stand in the sun in the sun, but wouldn’t allow them to even get close to the area – they said ‘Absolutely not’.Are they planting information?” he asked.
Trump on Thursday announced that the team was “cooperating fully” in the Justice Department’s investigation into his alleged ill-handled handling of classified documents when he quit office, pointing out that the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago came “out of nowhere and with no warning.”
His announcement came just moments following Attorney General Merrick Garland released an unusual official statement by the DOJ declaring that he personally granted the search warrant for the former president’s private home in Palm Beach, Florida to look for classified documents he believed to have taken with his belongings out of the White House when he left the White House.
“My lawyers and representatives were fully cooperating and very good relations had been built,” Trump posted.”The federal government would have had what they wanted, if they could have it.”
The FBI’s decision to execute a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday is “unprecedented” – especially for a non-sitting commander-in-chief and one who has indicated he might run again, a former special-agent-in-charge told Fox News Digital.
Rep.Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.She blasted the Department of Justice for “blatant politicizing” following the announcement by Attorney General stated that he had apprehensions about the Trump raid.Republican lawmakers of the House Intelligence Committee held a news conference regarding the Trump FBI raid.
A federal judge has given the Justice Department a deadline to determine if the former president is in favor of or against the release of the warrant for search and the receipt of property utilized by the FBI to search his Mar-a-Lago home on Monday, Trump said he heartily supports the move.”Release the documents today!” Trump tweeted on TRUTH Social just hours after the judge’s decision was made public.
In two of postings, Trump called the raid on his Florida estate “un-American unjustified, unjustified, and unjustifiable” and stated that he agreed of the “immediate release” of the warrant.
Republican Senators James Lankford and Rick Scott are requesting that the Senate be informed by the FBI, Department of Justice and National Archives about the “unprecedented” raid on Trump.
Trump raids changed the way Americans perceive America according to Fox News digital, as Lara Trump blasted the FBI raid, saying Garland’s interview raised more questions about “Tucker Carlson Tonight.’
Trump’s lawyer Christina Bobb blasted Garland’s address regarding the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago on “The Ingraham Angle” as Fox News host Brian Kilmeade expressed his displeasure regarding the FBI’s raid and the Attorney General’s involvement and its implications for “Tucker Carlson Tonight”.
FBI Director Chris Wray retorted, saying “unfounded attacks” against the organization “erode respect for the rule of law”.
“Unfounded criticisms of the credibility of the FBI reduce respect for the rule of law and do an insult to the men and women who give their lives to defend others.Threats and violence against law enforcement, which includes the FBI are extremely risky and should be a source of concern for every Americans,” he said in an official statement.
In the meantime, Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman attacked Trump supporters in an opinion piece published on Thursday in which he claimed that the former president’s struggles as symbolic of their own.The article was entitled “Why Trump has to sell the idea of common sexism” the article stated that Republicans are using cynical victim narratives in order to increase their support supporters “Right today, with the possibility of investigations closing in on Trump from a variety of directions, they’ve zeroed in on a crucial message that this isn’t about Trump.This is about you.”
