An anonymous intelligence official has told Newsweek that the FBI was looking for documents that Donald Trump believed would cause him to be exonerated of the Russia Collusion hoax.
“They collected everything that rightfully belonged to the U.S. government but the true target was these documents that Trump had been collecting since early in his administration,” the official said.
The source continued, “Trump was particularly interested in matters related to the Russia hoax and the wrong-doings of the deep state.”
These documents are ones that the former President believed would apparently prove his innocence. Since the raid, Trump has claimed that all seized documents had been declassified.
The President does have the ability to declassify information at will, though there is a process involved. It’s unclear if Trump went about the proper process.
Newsweek claims that because Trump did not concede the 2020 election, many of the standard transition processes were neglected, thus the documents were ‘accidentally’ shipped to Mar-a-Lago.
Another recent break revealed more information regarding the raid as a whole. Eric Trump revealed that despite initial reports, Mar-a-Lago security cameras were in fact, on rolling.
The entire raid was caught on camera and Eric says the footage will be released at the right time.
