The Biden administration is allegedly illegally concealing records on the unprecedented FBI raid on the home of former President Donald Trump, which comes as Trump leads President Joe Biden in polls ahead of a possible 2024 re-election contest.
The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch announced that, as of March 31, the National Archives has released only 1,276 pages of over 8,000 records on the federal government investigations of allegations Trump illegally retained and handled classified documents.
“The Biden administration’s National Archives is hiding almost every record it has about its manufactured records dispute with President Trump,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
The released records were secured after Judicial Watch filed an August 2022 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, after the National Archives and Records Administration allegedly unlawfully failed to respond to a February 2022 FOIA request for:
“All records regarding the referral from NARA to the Department of Justice regarding the records management procedures of former President Donald Trump. This request includes all related records of communication between any official or employee of NARA and any official or employee of the Department of Justice and/or any other branch, department, agency, or office of the federal government.”
“All records regarding the retrieval of records from President Trump or any individual or entity acting on his behalf by the National Archives and Records Administration. This request includes related records of communication between any official or employee of NARA and President Trump and/or any individual or entity acting on his behalf.”
Judicial Watch claims the released records confirm how “the Biden White House was directly involved in the dispute by initiating ‘special access request’ that advanced an FBI investigation of Trump’s records.”
According to Judicial Watch, Gary Stern, general counsel for the National Archives wrote to his colleagues on August 23, 2022:
And, this evening the Post just published a new story detailing an April 12, email that I sent to the Trump reps concerning the DOJ special access request for the 15 Trump boxes, along with many other details concerning the DOJ request and the overall issue. [Redacted]
“On April 12, an Archives official emailed Philbin [former White House deputy counsel Pat Philbin] and John Eisenberg, another former deputy White House counsel, to tell them the Justice Department, via the Biden White House, had made the request. The email offered the lawyers the opportunity to view the documents as well, but said the documents were too sensitive to be removed from the agency’s secure facility.”
Conservatives expect further releases of documents will show how the investigation and the current Justice Department criminal investigation are driven by concerns Trump will defeat Biden, and do not show any criminal intent or offense.

Of course they are keeping all records. The FBI, DOJ, Garland, Wray have gone totally rogue. They need to be fired. These agencies need a total overhaul.
You’re absolutely right !!
The danger to America is thase totaly rogue agencies are allied, not just against Trump but are allied against the American people and are in pocess of making traditional patriotism a crime.
god and his globalists and his demonrat criminal party and his rino criminal party and his media and his usps and all his other CRIMINAL organizations know they can’t beat Americans or Trump in a fair election . . . . .
Why are you blaming God or god what exactly are you saying ?
F J B and his entire administration may they all rot in Hell !
Most of the USA Government is Corrupt and Criminal !
Truth and transparency nowhere to be found, just lies, cover ups and attacks on anyone who doesn’t follow the agenda. IMO
How about Past raids:
Manafort

Why are the FBI hiding evidence, because they are part and parcel of the criminal government! They no longer care about their oaths, they shouldn’t even recite the oath, no one believes them!
IN ON raids then
If you remember back when the nigger was in the WH, he weaponized all the three letter agencies against republicans, and conservatives. Well, nothing has changed.
