Mar-a-Lago security cameras were turned off ‘for agent safety’ during FBI raid, court docs say
June 26, 2024 | Chris Donaldson

Another previously unrevealed detail about the FBI’s storming of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence has been unveiled, and it’s a disturbing one.

When agents executed the unprecedented August 2022 raid on the private home of a former president, they had the closed-circuit surveillance servers briefly shut down, preventing the recording of any evidence of potential fed misconduct during the initial stages of the operation.

The new revelation came out in documents filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team in response to Trump’s motion to dismiss the government’s classified documents case in South Florida based on “spoliation” of evidence, the latest bump in the road for Joe Biden’s Justice Department.

“At approximately 9:55 am, the CCTV servers were turned off to prevent recording, at the request of the FBI, out of concern for agent safety,” the document reads. “At approximately 10:20 am, recording resumed at the request of Trump attorneys.”

Maybe Federal agents conducting law enforcement actions should be required to wear body-cams.

I know, sometimes, agents' identities need to be protected, but the American people are losing trust in the FBI, DOJ, and other Federal Agencies.
