Real America’s Voice
Trump attorney Alina Habba on Wednesday tried to casually dismiss the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s hoarding of classified documents, claiming that potential acts of “espionage” and “obstruction” are merely “mundane statutes.”
The DOJ responded to Trump’s request for an independent request for a review of the documents the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago with a scathing filing late Tuesday night. Besides arguing that the ex-president shouldn’t get the records back, the department further revealed that they only executed a search warrant of his premises after obtaining evidence he “likely concealed and removed” documents to block their probe.
Additionally, the DOJ disclosed that the Aug. 8 search found that Trump had three classified documents inside his personal desk, along with over 100 documents marked classified in 13 other boxes—some at the highest “TOP SECRET” level. The filing also suggested that Trump’s lawyers could be in legal peril for previously claiming in June that all sensitive records had been handed over.
