After the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, one of the lawyers representing Donald Trump said that the CCTV from the investigation should be delivered and the experts who carried it out identified. This was said despite a barrage of vicious threats from shocked Trump allies against law enforcement and equity authorities. Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed the court order authorizing the assault, claims that given media associations, he is inclined to partially provide the sworn declaration that sparked the warrant. He'll make a final decision after the redactions are complete.
Requests to give the sworn statement have been rejected
by the Justice Department, which warned that doing so could "chill"
efforts in the future to enlist observer cooperation and claimed that the
investigation is still in its early stages. Mr. Trump has stated that he still
believes the sworn declaration should be given, but his legal team has been
unable to find a legal means to make it public. This follows the statement made
by Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney on January 6 that board members are
"having conversations" with the attorney for former Vice President
Mike Pence. Mr. Pence assured the AP that he departed the office without taking any sensitive material with him.
Vice President Mike Pence, who served in the past,
claimed on Friday that he never brought any ordered paperwork with him when he
left office. A week and a half after the FBI held onto sensitive and highly
classified information during an investigation at former President Donald
Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, Pence made the remark during a discussion with The
Associated Press in Iowa. When asked directly if he had any organized data left
over from his time in office, Pence responded, "Actually no, not as far as
anyone is concerned."
Trump suggests legal action in response to the FBI's
Mar-a-Lago search
Considering the FBI's investigation at his Mar-a-Lago
estate last week, Donald Trump has hinted that he would take legal action.
The former president took to Truth Social on Friday and
declared that a “significant movement” related to the Constitution’s Fourth
Amendment will be recorded soon.
On his online entertainment platform, Mr. Trump asserted
that his privileges "have been ignored at a degree rarely seen in our
society."
