I know this is going to come as quite the surprise, but it does now appear that the Biden administration had officials involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
America First Legal (AFL) is reporting documentation that provides a breadcrumb trail from the administration to National Archives (NARA) and, yes, direct Biden officials.
This goes against everything the Biden administration and NARA has been saying to this point.
Liars!
When the Trump raid took place, KJP talked about how stunned everyone in the administration was that this had happened.
Joe Biden even stated that he only heard about it via news stories on TV.
According to the Breitbart report, NARA had received boxes from Trump in January of 2022.
Those boxes were being examined by John Laster beginning in August 2022.
On October 25, 2022, the acting Archivist wrote to Reps. Jordan (R-OH) and Comer (R-KY) describing what had taken place thus far.
NARA notified the IG, who in turn notified the DOJ.
Now, NARA has claimed it took no part in this process, but that was clearly not the case.
More importantly, the documents received by AFL show communications between the White House and the DOJ.
AFL stated, “The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president only when the records in question are needed for ‘the conduct of current business’ of the White House.
“Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the ‘current business’ of the White House.”
Reed D. Rubinstein, senior counselor and director of oversight and investigations, added, “The evidence further suggests that Biden officials in the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice unlawfully abused their power and then lied about it to the American people.
“This government, it seems, acknowledges no limits on its power to harass, intimidate, and silence its political opponents.”

This web just gets thicker and thicker with every passing day, and with it, it seems like more lies are exposed.
