America First Legal has unveiled evidence of the Biden administration’s involvement in the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, contrary to their initial claims. Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request reveal the administration’s misuse of power against its political opponents.
Takeaways:
The Biden administration’s involvement contradicts earlier claims of surprise.
FBI access to Trump’s records came via a “special access request” from the White House.
NARA’s Office of Inspector General played a role in referring the matter to the DOJ.
The special access statute allows requests only for “the conduct of current business.”
An August letter from NARA hinted at President Biden’s involvement in the matter.
Commentary:
The recent revelations about the Biden administration’s involvement in the Mar-a-Lago raid demonstrate the lengths to which they will go to suppress political opposition.
This abuse of power underscores the importance of transparency and the need for the American people to hold their government accountable.
