Trump’s one-time chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says that only a small number of people who were “very close” to Donald Trump could have tipped off the FBI, resulting in the raid that occurred earlier this week.
“This would be someone who was handling things day-to-day, who knew where documents were, so it would be somebody very close…” Mulvaney told CNN. “My guess is there’s probably six or eight people who had that kind of information.”
According to Mulvaney, whoever spoke to the feds was close enough to Trump that he or she not only knew about the existence of a safe at Mar-a-Lago but its location.
”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. ”I don’t know the people on the inside circle these days, so I can’t give any names of folks who come to mind, but … if you know where the safe is and you know the documents are in 10 boxes in the basement, you’re pretty close to the president.”
It has been widely reported that the FBI was searching for “classified” documents being stored on the property; however, former Trump aide Kash Patel says the documents in question had long been declassified.
Serious questions have been raised about the appropriateness of the raid and whether the Biden administration abused its power. Not only did the FBI raid the home of a former president, but the DOJ also sought approval from an anti-Trump magistrate judge.
Fueling speculation that the administration knew it was doing something inappropriate is the fact that the White House distanced itself from the raid, claiming that no one, including staffers or Joe Biden, knew about it.

The tipster was DJT himself. A master of deception, he lured the crazies right into his trap...made fools out of the entire administration, and socialists.
What’s the problem? He served well at OMB/CPB and was interim chief of staff. When Mark meadows took on the chief of staff position, Trump sent Mick to Ireland. He supported Trump post election until the dust up on Jan 6.
Any “FBI Mole” at Mar A Lago was probably placed there to plant “evidence” for a future raid.
If Trump falls because of an Albany-Goneril situation, it will validate my decision, 54 years ago, to major in English with a concentration in the tragedies of Shakespeare.
A man, filled with love of country and people, betrayed by son of an alien filled with hatred of both who wormed his way too close to power through seduction of a beloved daughter?
There's nothing new under the sun.
The FBI went to Jared.
Makes ya wonder.
That’s the problem. He’s a disloyal, deep state, piece of schiff. He is talking out his ass about the FBI raid. He admitted yesterday that he doesn’t know anything about what is at Mira-A-Lago and then goes on to speculate knowing full well what he says will be repeated by the media. He’s groping for the spotlight. We don’t need people like him in government. Period.
Poor vetting of people has so very often been Trump’s Achiles heal. Recovery in private has been less injurious, usually, than in the political & government service venues.
when in the course of human events it becomes necessary.....so when?
He is only pissed because HE didn’t know about a safe.
