Now, as part of a federal investigation, the FBI conducted a court-approved search of Trump’s residence at his Mar-a-Lago Club on Monday.
Trump’s actions have been on a whole other level. According to Post reporting, he tore up hundreds of documents — perhaps more — indiscriminately. His aides used burn bags to destroy documents rather than hand them over for preservation.he flushed documents down the toilet. There is a gap of more than seven hours on in his phone logs on one of the most crucial days of his presidency, the day of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Then in August came the search at Mar-a-Lago by FBI agents. For the FBI to search someone’s home — let alone a former president’s — requires the government to show an extraordinary amount of evidence that they have reason to believe a crime has potentially been committed. That evidence was presented to a federal judge, who signed off on a court order approving the search.
“I am very curious as to what was in these documents and why he wanted them,” she said. If they were top secret, their classification means that disclosure could be reasonably expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States. “These are the types of documents that would make most of us quiver to hold,” McQuade said, “let alone retain unlawfully.”
That’s because the Constitution sets the qualifications for president, and nowhere does it say that being convicted of a crime — including one involving public documents — would bar someone from holding office. “A statute cannot supersede that,” said McQuade.At the end of the president’s administration, officials must hand over official documents — typically amounting to tens of thousands of pages — and tapes to the federal government.
Favorsbab The FBI went on a panty raid.
They are hurting my trump...how could they do this!!! TRUMP FIRST USA SECOND!
We are with you Mr. President. Once in office again all the mischief makers must be arrested and tried for treason. Wish you are back in office soon.
They offered him a chance to return all boxes to NARA but failed to do so… he’s not above the law.
HappyLurcher Where’s Melania?
As president Trump could declassify anything he wanted, so he can't be prosecuted for something like that. Now, if he has Epstein's list and Bezos is afraid his name might be on it, I could see WaPo trying to mislead us.
LOCK HIM UP!!!
🤔 If Trump runs for president in '24, wouldn't that mean he finally concedes his defeat in '20? Otherwise, he'd have been elected 3Xs.
Analysis: Some legal experts think Trump could be barred from public office if charged and found guilty of taking classified material to Mar-a-Lago. Others disagree.
