Biden Caught Interfering In Trump’s Court Case
There was always suspicion about Biden’s involvement and now we are one step closer to the truth.
In a recent development concerning the investigation into allegations of mishandling classified materials by former President Donald Trump, a trove of previously sealed documents has come to light. These documents reveal a collaborative effort between several high-ranking officials in the Biden administration and the National Archives to support Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump.
According to reports from Real Clear Investigations’ Julie Kelly, lawyers representing Trump in a Florida case compiled court exhibits containing over 300 pages of unredacted materials. Among these were emails and correspondences indicating regular communication between Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su and officials from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), as well as the Department of Justice.
The correspondence suggests that the Department of Justice had been in communication with NARA throughout much of 2021, despite claiming involvement only after receiving a criminal referral from the Archives on February 9, 2022. This referral stemmed from reports by the Archives of “classified markings” found among the materials Trump submitted, consisting of 15 boxes.
While President Joe Biden was not explicitly named in the exhibits filed by Trump’s attorneys in January, the documents shed light on the involvement of various Biden administration officials. Initially heavily redacted, Trump’s legal team petitioned U.S. District Court judge Aileen Cannon to remove many of the redactions, revealing significant coordination between NARA, the DOJ, the White House, and the intelligence community.
The unsealed documents unveiled a series of interactions between Biden’s Office of Records Management, the National Archives, and Trump’s transition team, led by his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Emails from Archives general counsel Gary Stern to Trump’s team in May 2021 requested accountability for nearly two dozen original presidential records that were not transferred, including specific mentions of correspondence between Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un, and the letter left by President Obama for Trump on his first day in office.
Additionally, FBI reports indicated the Archives’ interest in obtaining a map drawn on by Trump during a 2018 briefing on Hurricane Dorian. As tensions mounted, National Archivist David Ferriero warned Trump’s team in June 2021 of potential consequences for failing to comply with record transfer protocols, eventually expressing concern over the possible loss or destruction of the materials.
Further documents highlighted White House lawyers’ involvement in advising the Archives, exemplified by a draft letter accompanying an email from Stern to White House counsel, which subsequently addressed Attorney General Merrick Garland. The letter raised concerns about the potential unlawful removal or destruction of presidential records, underscoring the gravity of the situation uncovered by the unsealed documents.
