Former President Donald Trump’s attorney, Christina Bobb, confirmed that FBI agents searched former First Lady Melania Trump’s closet during its raid of Mar-a-Lago last week.
Bobb, who suggested that Melania wasn’t there, told Newsmax that she “wasn’t allowed to observe what they were doing or see really any part of the raid” when the agents went into her close.
The agents “told me I have no legal standing to be there,” Bobb claimed. “Those were the words they gave to me. We argued over whether that was true or not, and I explained to them … it’s better for you to allow me to observe because then I can’t say, ‘They kept me out and wouldn’t let me observe.’”
“I don’t think anybody just takes the word of the FBI anymore,” she continued. “But they seem to be OK with that risk.”
Last week, former President Trump wrote on Truth Social that agents entered and rummaged through Melania’s closet, appearing to confirm prior reports from the New York Post.
The FBI and Department of Justice have not issued public statements on the claims that agents went into her closet. The Epoch Times has contacted the agencies for comment.
The FBI told Bobb “that they did take some attorney-client privileged information and possibly other privileged documents,” she added to Newsmax on Tuesday. Regarding those documents, Bobb said she is still “waiting for an explanation.”
“If [the federal government] actually had something, at the very least, they would have held a press conference resolving a lot of these questions in Americans’ minds, and they haven’t even done that,” she said. “I don’t think they have anything.”
Battle Over Affidavit
On Monday, the Department of Justice issued a motion that sought to block the affidavit in the case from being released to the public—even in its redacted form. Lawyers for the department said that releasing those documents to the public would harm the agency’s investigation.
A judge in the case, Bruce Reinhart, set a Thursday at 1 p.m. hearing on whether the affidavit should be released. Several third-party groups, watchdogs, and media outlets have made court filings asking for the affidavit to be unsealed, while Trump and other Republicans have called on the government to release it.
The affidavit could potentially reveal what the FBI is trying to investigate and would provide a reason why the Department of Justice sought an FBI search warrant targeting Mar-a-Lago.
“We need the affidavit, show your cards, Merrick Garland can’t have it both ways, he can’t give us the inventory of the warrant without telling us why it was necessary … without the affidavit, we’re flying blind in the dark,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Fox News before adding, “The American people are going through too much pain, too much heartache on this endless effort to destroy Donald Trump.”
Reinhart last week issued an order unsealing the warrant and property receipt, suggesting Trump could be under investigation for possible Espionage Act and obstruction of justice violations.
Several boxes of allegedly classified and top secret documents were taken from the Florida residence, although Trump and his team argued that while he was president, he had a standing order to declassify materials leaving the Oval Office.
Probably not. But if the FBI agents are within the view of cameras at any time and they're carrying something other than documents then that is a pretty good indication they took something else, be if Melania's clothing or something else.
FBI thugettes in stolen elegant drag, during their illegal Mar-a-Lago Raid!
”My butt looks better than yours!!!!”
Que one smirk of Peter Strozk!!!!
No she is not. Suggest that you shut it!
I have no idea how or why Trump selects his employees. The two women I have seen trotted out as his attorneys just don’t impress me.
My late Dad said I never want to need a lawyer but if I do I want the meanest shrewdest sob I can find. He had one available.
Don’t know why Trump doesn’t have a guy like former acting AG Matthew Whittaker as his attorney and don’t know why he saw only acting AG. The guy is a keeper.
Likely they tried a few things on. Probably took selfies.
BWA HA HA!
I can’t STAND Meghan Markle!
The only word of the feebles that we'll take is their threats to backshoot pregnant women and little kids, and burn pregnant women and little kids if they get a chance.
We're talking about YOU, Lon.

The FBI agents and officials who raided Donald Trump’s residence are currently under CRIMINAL investigation in the Durham probe for their role in the Russia Russia Russia hoax. Same agents, same division. It all adds up!
She’s a media whore.
You beat me to it. They must be kind of like dogs chasing and smelling.
They knifed/slit the labels, ruining the clothes and gowns.
joey bananas aka the big guy ordered a pair from the hamper
Did they really??!!
It’s appalling, and there is NO NEED of it!
That’s outrageous and just plain vindictive and mean!
EVERY woman in America should be really furious!
I would be afraid to let Melania wear them again if I were President Trump! I would charge the FBI for EVERY single item of her clothing to be replaced!
Not only for ruining them, but God knows what they might have infected them with!
Melania should sue for damages
Good!
Maybe people are FINALLY starting to wake up to just how really underhanded (no pun intended) and depraved the
Donks and the FBI have become!
Looken sharp FBI/DOJ...
My sentiments exactly! Complete, total, effing outrage.
They FIB-otherwise known as the American shutzstaffel, did this IMO, to inflict psychological pain on the Trump family.
It's really creepy. But I imagine Melania, being from former Communist country, will be able to weather this attack just fine.
OTOH it makes one question: Just how much wrong doing is the FIB tangled up in?- Must be a yuge +amount,&9 for them to have done a raid like this.
