At least a dozen people ranging from members to employees of Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate have been subpoenaed as part of the Justice Department’s ongoing probe into the former president’s handling of classified materials.
According to an exclusive report from CNN, multiple sources close to Trump’s inner circle confirmed that multiple individuals have been subpoenaed to testify to a federal grand jury, intentionally casting a “wide net.”
The report noted that Trump’s communications aide Margo Martin, who worked in the White House and then moved with Trump to Florida, appeared before the grand jury in Washington, DC earlier this week.
Special counsel Jack Smith has sought testimony from a range of people close to Trump. He’s targeted Trump’s own attorneys who represent him in the matter as well as staffers who work on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, including a housekeeper and restaurant servers.
The staffers are of interest to investigators because of what they may have seen or heard while on their daily duties around the estate, including whether they saw boxes or documents in Trump’s office suite or elsewhere.
“They’re casting an extremely wide net – anyone and everyone who might have seen something,” said one source familiar with the Justice Department’s efforts.
For instance, federal investigators have talked to a Mar-a-Lago staff member seen on security camera footage moving boxes from a storage room with Trump aide Walt Nauta, who has already spoken with investigators.
The report noted that many of the Mar-a-Lago staffers are being represented by counsel paid for by Trump entities.
The Justice Department has been investigating potential mishandling of national security records and possible obstruction. Last August, FBI agents conducted a raid on Mar-A-Lago and recovered more than 100 classified documents during a search.
Earlier this year, documents marked classified were found in the Penn Biden Center thinktank in Washington, D.C. Shortly after a subsequent search found classified documents in President Biden’s Delaware homes.
$#@% jack off smith another legal POS.
Turn about is fair play. If they don’t subpoena the Resident and staff in the Whitehouse, even the Democrats can no longer pretend that they are moderate, neutral or SANE.
The DOJ needs to be subpoenaed in the illegal actions they have been taking. They need to leave Trump alone and go after Joe Biden who has had ‘Classified Documents’ as a Senator and Vice President in which case he was not allowed to have. He is the guilty one. President Trump was the one that was allowed to declassify documents not Biden. Maybe they need to go after Barack Obama who took lots and lots of ‘Classified Documents’ when he left office. Oh but that is different both Obama and Biden are Democrats and they evidently are allowed to do the illegal actions.
Gee, think they’re afraid of our legitimate President? We got a couple more false witch hunts going.
When are they going to look at “Scarry Barry’s” digs to see how many he has?
Grasping at straws ? Attorneys have client privileged and employees are being put in an awkward/uncomfortable position. I hope they will be treated fairly by the court. How about our tax $$ be spent on the current Bozo-in-Charge and his son that racked in millions from Ukraine that Biden is bailing out/supporting for no reason and the banks with unsecured China loans. Just why was Yellen sent to Ukraine – who does she work for anyway?
The DOJ the FBI & Federal Reserves all need to be dismantled. They all are so corrupt now days & they certinally do not understand they WORK for us WE THE PEOPLE. It’s time to remind them with a termination notice the so called pink slip. It’s time people to make our voices heard & mean what we are saying. If you don’t care about being a total slave to the Democratic party continue to be quiet & wait for someone else to save us. Our only hope is if all of them fall over dead. That would certnally be the best answer.
The corrupt DOJ is still after Trump. They will not go after one of their own, no matter how crooked they are. If you remember back to the niggers time in office, he weaponized all the three letter agencies against republicans, and conservatives! nothing has changed.
& they want to prosecute Trump for things Biden is doing Now & since Senate years
Not a witch hunt they say??? lol Definitely after Trump to the point of manufacturing false evidence just because they are not beholden to Americans any longer. That’s why they’re after the best potus America ever had; they KNOW if he gets back into office, they’ll lose all their power and money.
The entire administration and government needs to be thoroughly investigated. By that, I mean everyone from the president on down to people like the governor of California. They’ve proven themselves to all be corrupt, crooked anti American liars who violate the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s laws at every turn. In addition, I very strongly feel that anyone questioned by any government agency should be hooked up to a polygraph. It might not be perfect but it simply would have to be better than listen to politicians lie under oath. It might just scare a few into telling the truth for a change. I also feel that anyone elected to any government office should undergo a complete physical, a complete mental evaluation and a full background check. As it now stands, members of congress don’t have to have any of those things and they have the Constitutional right to declare war and get Americans killed.
Mar a Lago employees should just ignore subpoenas from the dept of injustice, just like demorrhoids do.
