Agents tracked Melania and Barron Trump's travel and monitored Susie Wiles' calls as part of the Jack Smith investigation

===================================================================

The Biden-era FBI tracked Trump family travel, including the First Lady and Barron Trump, and surveilled future White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' phone as federal officials worked the classified documents investigation reaching deep into Trump's inner circle, newly declassified records show.

Documents released Monday by the White House detail "Plasmic Echo," the probe later led by special counsel Jack Smith into whether Trump improperly retained classified documents after leaving office. The declassified documents show agents tracked the first lady and first son's travel while planning the Mar-a-Lago search warrant, then monitored Susie Wiles’ calls involving defense lawyers, campaign advisers and journalists.

"Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power. Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Those responsible must be held accountable."

The revelations come less than a week after Smith faced a contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over investigative tactics used in his separate probe into Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 election. That investigation, known as Arctic Frost, included the collection of phone-record information involving Republican lawmakers, while the newly released records stem from Plasmic Echo, the classified-documents investigation that ultimately led to the FBI's 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago.

Operational planning emails from late May 2022, uncovered in the trove of declassified documents Monday, reveal that agents prepared for the Mar-a-Lago warrant execution using pre-raid checklists that explicitly required agents to "finalize FBI understanding of FPOTUS/FLOTUS/minor son's travel (type of aircraft and specific timeline)"

Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power.

And yet, he is still not in jail. Nor will he ever be.

You cannot hate these people enough.

The corruption that this POS initiated, makes Watergate look like a late library book.

A REMINDER:

Trumps 34 felonies explained by a judge so the next time some liberal starts ranting about Trump being a felon you can rant right back at them about how ridiculous their accusations really are.

Given what the FBI knew about how the Biden Crime Family operated, they naturally expected to catch Melania and Barron serving as “bagmen” too.
