To the casual and credulous observer, the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s house unfolded without any involvement from the Biden White House. That’s the impression Biden’s aides sought to leave after issuing narrow denials of any “prior” knowledge of the raid. But that impression is false, as reporter John Solomon reveals in an article in Just the News. The Biden White House not only knew about the FBI’s probe into Trump but “facilitated it,” writes Solomon.
He has seen government memos that show the “Biden White House worked directly with the Justice Department and National Archive to instigate the criminal probe into alleged mishandling of documents, allowing the FBI to review evidence retrieved from Mar-a-Lago this spring and eliminating the 45th president’s claims to executive privilege.”
So once again Biden has unleashed the FBI on a political opponent. The FBI raid on Trump’s house is a replay of its shockingly specious investigation into Trump–Russia collusion that the Obama–Biden administration approved. One might have thought, given that debacle, the Biden White House would have wanted to steer clear of yet another partisan FBI fishing expedition. But Biden obviously couldn’t resist making life difficult for his chief political nemesis.
The memos “show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump’s Florida home,” according to Solomon. “By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.”
