Did a Family Member Implicate Trump? Top Aides Think the Answer Is Yes

Grab the popcorn, America, stuff just got really interesting.
Top aides of former President Donald Trump have suspected from the beginning that the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago came after Trump was fingered by someone in his inner circle. As reported by The Guardian, both Trump and his aides now believe a family member may have tipped off the FBI about the exact location of classified documents — in a specific leather-bound box, along with the location of Trump’s safe.
In another report that couldn’t sound more Nixonesque, Trump is allegedly becoming more and more paranoid, to the point of suspecting that even his wife Melania could be a possible FBI mole. Other family-member suspects include Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, former Trump advisor Jared Kusher.
According to Yahoo News, Trump’s estranged niece, Mary, and his former attorney Michael Cohen have speculated that Kushner is a likely informant, though neither has offered evidence to back the claim.
This is where I throw in the usual disclaimer in the case of controversial reports.
I don’t know who said what to whom prior to the raid and neither does anyone reading this article. Therefore, I will reserve speculation — which is often presented by some as facts — until actual facts emerge. Until then, those who choose to speculate can do so until the proverbial cows come home, but as is the case with all opinions, speculation is not facts.
If I were forced to give an opinion — assuming the suspicion that a family member did tip off the FBI — I’d suggest that of the three family members mentioned above, Melania would be the least likely suspect, Ivanka would be second, and Kushner would be the huckleberry. In addition, Jared and Ivanka seem most logical, given their closeness to Trump and their strategic positions in his White House, and both have reportedly been distancing themselves from Trump since he left the White House.
