America First Legal reports:
Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) Office of the Inspector General to obtain documents related to the Biden White House’s “special access request” to President Trump. Records at Mar-a-Lago.
On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, where potentially classified documents existed. According to press reports, Biden administration aides were “stunned” to hear the development.
However, new NARA documents obtained through America First Legal’s investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago attack confirm that the FBI obtained access to these documents on behalf of the department from the Biden White House through a “special access request.” of Justice (DOJ).
It appears that the Biden White House and the DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump documents and perhaps created a pretext for a law enforcement attack through a “special access request.”
This means that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives told Congress and what appears in its internal communications. For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told Representative Mike Turner (R-OH) on August 16, 2022, that NARA was “not involved in the DOJ investigation or any of the searches it conducted.”
The stunning revelation suggests that NARA misled Congress about the White House’s role in the shocking raid on President Trump’s home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting “on behalf of” the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.
The special access statute only authorizes special access requests to a sitting president when the documents in question are necessary for the “current conduct of business” of the White House. Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the “current business” of the White House.
Likewise, America First Legal is demanding that NARA turn over documents related to the Biden White House’s involvement in the politically motivated attack on President Trump’s home.
