The White House has claimed on multiple occasions that PRESIDENT Joe Biden had no prior knowledge of HIS OWN DOJ’s plan to raid Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
These claims prove that Biden is not in control of his own administration, or it’s just a flat out lie.
Well, according to a trove of documents unsealed on Monday, Biden’s White House was dead-center in the decision to raid the home of a former President.
Several correspondences between Trump’s attorneys and members of the Biden administration revealed that the federal government appeared poised to waive Trump’s claims of executive privilege over documents that Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago until earlier this year.
As Just The News reported:
The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump’s Florida home.
By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.
A May 10 letter from acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall to Trump’s legal team confirmed the White House’s involvement in the DOJ probe against Trump.

“On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office — affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum — formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes,” Wall wrote.
The letter continued:
The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President’s purported “protective assertion of executive privilege.”…I have therefore decided not to honor the former President’s “protective” claim of privilege.
These documents reviewed by Just The News are the strongest pieces of evidence showing the Biden White House’s involvement in the DOJ probe, although the White House previously claimed to have “no advanced knowledge” of the recent FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
Based on the documents, the White House can feign ignorance as they did not give express approval to the FBI before raiding Trump’s home. However, by not honoring Trump’s executive privilege, they set the stage for the DOJ to step in and claim criminal wrongdoing.
The raid was unprecedented and illegal, as noted by legal scholar Alan Dershowitz. If Republicans don’t do something about it and allow the federal government to attack Trump, it’s only a matter of time before they become the next target.
