The White House denied any foreknowledge of the FBI raid on President Trump\u2019s home in August 2022, but new documents reveal that Joe Biden and his staff not only knew about the raid beforehand, but authorized it. According to documents obtained by America First Legal under the Freedom of Information Act, Biden\u2019s White House authorized the raid on Trump\u2019s residence via a \u201cspecial access request\u201d on behalf of the Department of Justice. Through a complicated daisy chain of referrals and reviews that gave the impression the FBI was not weaponized against a political opponent, America First Legal traced the authorization to the White House, which denied any connection to the raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked whether Biden or any White House officials were aware of the raid or had been briefed, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said responded, “No. The president was not briefed, and he was not aware\u2026No, no one at the White House was given a heads-up. No, that did not happen.” She said the president and White House officials learned about the raid “from public reports\u2026We learned just like the American people did\u2026The Justice Department conducts investigations independently” and that the White House leaves “any law enforcement matters to them\u2026It would not be appropriate for us to comment on any ongoing investigations.” As it turns out, it appears she was lying repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the documentation, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall \u201casked the President to request that NARA provide the FBI with access to the [fifteen] boxes,\u201d and \u201con April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel\u2019s office\u2014affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum\u2014formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days.\u201d According to internal emails, Gary Stern, the Archives\u2019 General Counsel, also confirmed that \u201cthe Justice Department, via the Biden White House, had made the [special access] request.\u201d So much for Joe Biden not having anything to do with the raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
America First Legal Senior Counselor and Director of Oversight and Investigations, Reed D. Rubinstein, said, \u201cThe evidence suggests that the ostensibly nonpartisan National Archives and Records Administration misled Congress about the Biden White House\u2019s responsibility for the FBI\u2019s raid of former President Trump\u2019s home. The evidence further suggests that Biden officials in the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice unlawfully abused their power and then lied about it to the American people.\u201d The evidence mounts that the Biden Administration is politically weaponizing government agencies to censor, harass, and eliminate political opposition. Proverbs 29:2 says, \u201cWhen the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.\u201d This is a dark time in American history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
