Former White House chief of staff for the Trump administration Mick Mulvaney said Thursday that he was not aware there was a safe at Mar-a-Lago. His comments followed the raid earlier this week of the former president's Florida home.
On CNN's "New Day," Mulvaney said that only someone "really close" to Trump would have known there was a safe on the Florida estate.
"I didn't even know there was a safe at Mar-a-Lago, and I was the chief of staff for 15 months," he said. "So this would be someone who was handling things on day-to-day, who knew where documents were. So it would be somebody very close inside the president. My guess is there's probably six or eight people who have that kind of information."
The former South Carolina representative said he wasn't sure about who would have that sort of access to Trump these days, as he is no longer in Trump's inner circle. He added that Trump currently has the ability to release the FBI search warrant, which would indicate what documents officials were seeking during the raid.
The search was reportedly related to documents Trump removed from the White House at the end of his term, including some potentially classified material.
Mulvaney also weighed in Thursday morning about the former president's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights not to testify during his deposition with the New York state Attorney General Letitia James (D), who has been, for years, looking into the finances of Trump's companies.
"I think the president learned a valuable lesson. Look, it's easy for anybody, including the president

South Carolina's "Three Amigos:" Mulvaney, Lindsey and Tim Scott.

From an earlier post today that I made about Tim Scott:
Yep, he's on the Republican ticket for November. I'm very tempted to just not vote. As the Beast said several years ago on another issue: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
America is too far gone for politicians to save us.
FWIW. If I remember correctly, Tim Scott and Mick Mulvaney were roomies in an apartment/condo (or something) when they first went to the South Carolina legislature years ago.
I’m so disappointed in Mick. I talked to him a few months ago in passing and he seemed like he was dodging the people here in South Carolina. Just too much money involved in politics now. He was cowed when he went through confirmation and they found some nanny he had employed 10 years ago and ‘forgot’ to pay payroll taxes for.
Who cares ?
The safe was EMPTY.
I live in a 160 million dollar estate and have no safe within...said no billionaire ever.
It is a business...most businesses have a safe somewhere on the premises in my experience.
Maybe this guy can find out who leaked the draft of Dobbs, too.
No one should know about your safe except the people you want to have access to it. Duh!
What about Mark Meadows? I think he’s the culprit.
So having a safe is nefarious now? I would be shocked if there wasn’t a safe at a place like Mar a Lago
Like Trump would tell his chief of staff about everything in his private home.
Or two safes. The real on that can’t be found, and the decoy safe for punking the FBI.
The point is that that FBI knew about it, because a mole told them. And apparently only 6 people knew about the safe. That narrows down who the mole is to just a handful of people.
OMG a Billionaire had a safe in his private residence??!
Good Lordy! What’s next, he had more than 5 bedrooms? Maybe even a guest house on the property? Oh the humanity!
You have to believe the FBI is telling the truth about the mole and I have my doubts. It could have been a Secret Service agent who told the FBI or the FBI is yet again monitoring Trump’s communications.
Trump told the FBI about the safe several months ago!
Everyone has a house safe you a hole. Call your local FBLiar office today to express concern.
Last time I checked, its none of his business if he owns a safe or not.
Oh and in case this moron is stuck on being a moron...
You don’t need a license or FBI approval to own one.
My guess is there’s probably six or eight people who have that kind of information.”
= = =
Hundreds of millions now know he had a safe.
Hundreds of millions would have thought he had a safe before all this anyway. DUH.
Or else did they think DJT couldn’t remember a safe combination?
