Per Biden’s request, NARA (National Archives and Record Administration) handed documents to the FBI.
QUICK FACTS:
- Judge Aileen Cannon released a decision on September 5 regarding Trump’s appeal for a Master Review of the contents gathered from Mar-a-Lago that pointedly reveals Biden’s participation in the FBI’s activities.
- “On May 10, 2022,” Judge Cannon’s statement read, “NARA informed Plaintiff that it would proceed with ‘provid[ing]’ the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent president.”
- NARA, the National Archives and Record Administration, was originally responsible for reviewing the material prior to Biden’s request that the “Fifteen Boxes” be provided “to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
- NARA Archivist Debra Steidel Wall noted that the White House Counsel’s Office upheld “a request from the Department of Justice” to allow FBI access to the boxes recovered from Mar-a-Lago, saying that she “decided not to honor the former President’s ‘protective’ claim of privilege” over the materials, further providing evidence of Biden’s involvement with the FBI’s pursuits.
- The raid on Mar-a-Lago occurred just several months after the FBI’s acquisition of what NARA deemed as “classified national security information.”
BIDEN DENIES INVOLVEMENT:
- Biden has continually denied any involvement or knowledge in the Mar-a-Lago raid or FBI-related activities despite After being asked if he had “advanced notice” of the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, Biden responded that he “didn’t have any advanced notice. None. Zero. Not one single bit.”
- Following the FBI raid, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre said Biden “was not briefed” or “given a heads up.”
BACKGROUND:
- The FBI has not yet conducted a search into Hunter Biden’s possessions, but they are more than willing to search the room of Donald Trump’s 16-year-old son Barron.
- Trump called the search of his youngest son’s belongings “deep and ugly,” while criticizing the FBI’s ransacking Melania’s “closet, drawers, and everything else.”
