Archives Letter Seems to Contradict WH Claims Biden Didn't Know of Trump Raid

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) reportedly contradicted a White House claim that President Joe Biden had no advance knowledge of the FBI's Aug. 8 raid at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted the Trump team's request for a special master in the legal dispute between Trump and the Justice Department.

Judge Cannon also identified a springtime letter from the National Archives to Trump's legal team, with the conclusion reading, "NARA will provide the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022."

In the weeks after the FBI visit to Trump's Florida home, White House officials have denied any prior knowledge of the raid on a former U.S. president.

The issue of foreknowledge comes into play because Trump and his allies have alleged that political animosity led to the raid. Trump is widely seen as a frontrunner in the early jockeying for position in the 2024 presidential campaign, and has said political enemies are trying to derail his plans to again seek the high office by generating scandal.

"No. The president was not briefed ... was not aware of it. No. No one at the White House was given a heads up," White House press secretary Jean-Pierre said on Aug. 9, a day after the FBI raid. "We learned about this just like the public, just as you all were reporting it, through the public reports."

NARA's acting archivist Debra Steidel Wall might have also played a role in the Biden administration perhaps knowing about the Mar-a-Lago raid well in advance.

According to reports, Steidel Wall alerted the White House that an initial review of the records sent to NARA from Mar-a-Lago included

And by all accounts, Habba said Trump's team of Florida attorneys had been fully cooperating with NARA officials.

"So, it was a bit of surprise, you can imagine, when the [FBI] raid happened," says Habba.

If the Archive gods get in such a panic about these documents then WHY are the Presidents allowed to leave with them? Let Archive take them all and let the President go to them and pick out what he wants. Then the god of the Archive will forever be in charge. and happy-until the dems are in charge and then it is OK to take them.

Pres can come into office with clothes only and leave with them. No papers.

But why is this a problem ALL OF A SUDDEN. All other Pres took papers but regarding Trump ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS AN ISSUE? Gee, I wonder if it just because they WANT SOMETHING ON HIM.

Does anyone really think that Deep State would really trust a demented POTATUS with what the heck its doing?

Come on.

What this is really about is Deep State trying to maintain the fiction that BiteMe is in charge.

Note to Deep State: Nice try.

Does it make any difference that in her granting the right to have a Special Master she wrote, "NARA will provide the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022." Emphasis added.

So as usual Biden lied through his teeth and as usual the MSM will not mention it. A sitting President dispatches the FBI to ransack the house of his likely opponent and it is nothing.

Well I could Archivist be a political opponent depending on who is President and not giving the documents requested or slow walking for years or saying they are “missing” in that scenario.
