Lawyers for Donald Trump mediated with the FBI, Secret Service, and the Department of Justice and struck a deal that gagged the former president from disclosing the raid at Mar-a-Lago as it was underway, Radar has exclusively learned.
In the hour after the FBI made the sensational unannounced search of the Florida property on Monday, the two feuding factions – the Trump team and law enforcement — agreed to keep the raid quiet over concerns that pro-Trump supporters would turn violent.
It wasn’t until the vast majority of the agents who descended on Mar-a-Lago had left the scene that Trump took to social media, around 7 p.m., to decry what he labeled as a “raid.”
“Trump’s lawyers, the Secret Service, FBI and the Justice Department all convened to discuss the security operation that ran parallel to the search,” a source told RadarOnline.com.
“Everyone agreed the prospect of Trump supporters turning up to Mar-a-Lago was too significant — and the chance those supporters could violently storm the property all while the raid was underway was one they were not prepared to take.”
In wild scenes late into Monday, a horde of angry Trump supporters camped outside of Mar-a-Lago as broadcast networks reported live from the property.
One Trump fan also publicly identified as a member of the far-right Proud Boys.
A source told RadarOnline.com: “The Secret Service was charged with securing the property while the raid was underway.
“Trump’s people agreed he would not post on social media about the warrant until it was safe to do so. There was genuine concern at the highest levels that mob-like scenes — much like January 6 — could have erupted.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the FBI notified its counterparts at the Secret Service that a warrant was about to be executed prior to agents arriving.
The Secret Service facilitated access to the property without any issue.
RadarOnline.com published the first photo of a Secret Service agent brandishing a machine gun as he guarded the perimeter of property soon before sunset on Monday.
The search and seizure warrant was executed by the Department of Justice over a secret stash of classified documentsTrump had in his possession after leaving the White House.
As RadarOnline.com also revealed, the Justice Department penetrated the former president’s inner circle to secure crucial evidence that led to them executing the warrant.
Once inside Mar-a-Lago, they cracked open a safe and “ransacked” a closet and the private quarters of Trump, his son Eric said on FOX News.
Supposedly they took boxes of documents without reviewing them to see if they met the criteria of the warrant. Since nobody knew, probably even Trump, what all was in the boxes, then how hard would it be for someone to plant something in a box or even just say it was in there, whether it was or not? What will be the provenance and chain of custody for the materials? Will there be multiple eyes watching as the boxes are examined? Even so, a lone person in one office could slip something into a box for it to be “found” later by the team. Is it coincidence that the guy who oversaw the Whitmer manufactured plot was recently transferred to oversee DC, where this raid originated (even if the judge who signed off is in FL)?
“then how hard would it be for someone to plant something’
Well, the FBI does it all the time. So yes.

Possible, but one would think he’s intelligent enough to not have them where they’re easily found. It’s as likely that this was merely a fishing expedition. Like with the rigged FISA warrant, it served to give them the “authority” to spy on Trump. This warrant, especially since they took boxes of items without going through them, gives them the ability to seize and READ everything, no matter if it’s covered by the warrant or not. This could well be a fishing expedition. Already one lefty lawyer claims that should anything pertaining to any OTHER investigation (like Jan. 6) be found in what they did take, then it WILL BE USED and turned over to Congress. This would seem to be illegal, but once read and then LEAKED, it won’t matter. Added bonus: They can leak untrue things, claiming without evidence that the information came from the raid, even if it didn’t. Who would know? Who would verify it? If it’s all “fruit of a poisoned tree,” it maybe can’t be used at trial but that’s not their game. Their game is to damage Trump. Leaks of private information they had no business reading may serve their purpose just as well. Consider Alex Jones’s complete cell records, “accidentally” passed to the opposing lawyer by his own lawyer, who apparently didn’t do anything to recover the data. It’s all being sent to the Jan. 6 committee, with the approval of the supposedly unbiased judge.
Apparently moving out of the WH has to be done in 6 hrs. The GSA packed the boxes and delivered them to Florida and DJT had them in a locked room. That’s what I’ve read so far. Also Kash Patel said these documents were declassified by Trump but the markings on each doc might not have been changed.
So looks like nothing except they might plant something and there is public opinion which I think is backfiring big time.
One would think there would be video of the FBI removing any items from Trump’s house. Have they confiscated anything?
