Biden Justice Dept. Discussed Trump’s Video of FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago


 

We continue to reveal the details of the Biden administration’s unconscionable raid on President Trump’s Florida home.

We received 477 pages of records pages from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that show top officials of the National Security Division discussing the political implications of Trump allowing CNN to use closed-circuit TV (CCTV) footage of the raid on his Mar-a-Lago home. The documents confirm that the Justice Department had asked that Mar-a-Lago CCTV be turned off before the raid.
 
We obtained the records in response to a September 2022 FOIA lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond to an August 2022 request for records about the August 8, 2022, Mar-a-Lago raid ((Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice) (No. 1:22-cv-02884)). 
 
In an August 17, 2022, email exchange, with the subject “CNN – Mar-a-Lago CCTV Footage,” a trial attorney with the Justice Department’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the National Security Division, whose name is redacted, writes to colleagues:

I just received a call from our case agents at FBI, and apparently the Bureau has been given a heads-up by CNN that CNN has CCTV [closed circuit television] footage from Mar-a-Lago (presumably of agents executing the search) that they may air as soon as tonight [Redacted] 

I have no further info on what, specifically, CNN has. But [redacted].

Jay Bratt, chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, comments, “CNN is saying FPOTUS [former president] is still weighing whether to release the footage.”
 
Communications Advisor Luis Rossello adds:

Got a call from Evan [likely then-Trump attorney Evan Corcoran]. As Jay says, Trump team is still weighing the release. Per Evan, some say it will energize base, others say not a good look for FPOTUS to have it out there. 

CNN is working on a story that Jay requested Trump team to turn off the cameras and they refused.

Justice Department official George Toscas replies, “We’re waiting to hear back from FBIHQ on their recommended approach.” 
 
Bratt writes, “We did. This was in the call [redacted] and I had with Evan Corcoran before the search. It is standard for [redacted].” 
 
Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Marshall Miller forwards the exchange to a personal email account of Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. 
 
Miller makes a comment that is entirely redacted, to which a Justice Department National Security Division official, whose name is redacted, responds, “Kelsey/Luis: Will we also plan to communicate to CNN the law enforcement safety need to blur agent faces if footage ends up being released?” 
 
Anthony Coley, Director of the DOJ Public Affairs Office, replies, “Done.”
 
If the Biden regime’s unprecedented and abusive FBI raid on Trump’s home was on the up and up, they would have been happy to have it recorded on video. 
 
We are in the forefront of the court battles for transparency regarding Biden administration’s targeting of former President Trump.
 
A separate Judicial Watch lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration resulted in the release of 1,276 pages of records about the unprecedented document dispute between the Archives and President Trump. Click here or here to review the records.
 
In August 2022, we sued to unseal the search warrant affidavit used to justify the unprecedented raid on the home of former President Trump.
 
In September 2022, we filed lawsuits against the DOJ for its records and the FBI’s records about the Mar-a-Lago raid search warrant application and approval, as well as communications about the warrant between the FBI, Executive Office of the President and the Secret Service.
 
In October 2022, we sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for all communications of the U.S. Secret Service internally and with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the raid on Trump’s home and for any video or audio recordings made during the raid.
 
In November 2022, we sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for all communications between the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the search warrant that precipitated the raid on former Trump’s Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago.

With the Biden regime’s arrest of Trump this week, the raid on his home, and the long-running FBI/DOJ abuse of this man, Judicial Watch has had its hands full exposing and opposing this massive government corruption. With your support, not only we will push for the truth and accountability, but Judicial Watch will increase its work to protect the Republic.
 

Judicial Watch Sues Air Force Over Release of Records of Rep. Anna Luna

We filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for information on the improper release of the personnel records of U.S. Rep Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) (Judicial Watch Inc. v U.S. Department of Defense (No. 1:23-cv-01590)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Air Force failed to comply with a March 7, 2023, FOIA request for: 

• All personnel records of Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, including unmodified original digital documents, released to any individual or entity from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023 
• All records, including but not limited to communications, FOIA requests, and SF-180requests, concerning or relating to the release of personnel records of Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, to any individual or entity from January 1, 2019 to March 6, 2023. 
• All records of administrative or punitive action taken against any individuals involved with the release of personnel records of Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 
• All reports of investigation concerning or relating to the release of personnel records of Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky. 
• All communications with any representative or employee of The New York Times concerning or relating to Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 
• All communications with any representative or employee of Due Diligence Group, LLC (“DDG”) concerning or relating to Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 
• All communications with any representative or employee of The Washington Post concerning or relating to Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 
• All communications with any representative or employee of The Associated Press concerning or relating to Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 
• All communications with any representative or employee of Politico concerning or relating to Anna Paulina Luna, also known as Anna Paulina Mayerhofer and/or Anna Paulina Gamberzky, from January 1, 2019 to March 7, 2023. 

According to the suit, on February 13, 2023, the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services and U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability disclosed the Air Force had improperly revealed the unredacted records of at least 11 Republican congressional candidates, who are Air Force veterans, to the research firm Due Diligence Group.  

The Due Diligence Group is a vendor for Democratic Party campaign committees. According to the Washington Examiner:  

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign, which seeks to elect Democrats to the Senate, gave the Due Diligence Group $173,000 during the 2022 election cycle as well as another three payments of more than $30,000 after the election, according to the Federal Election Commission. Additionally, the political research firm received more than $110,000 from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee between January 2021 and December 2022, filings show.
 

“The USAF leaked information of USAF candidates in the 2022 midterms to a DEMOCRAT OPPO research firm,” Luna tweeted on February 27, 2023. “Yes, I also have reason to believe my records were leaked. This is likely going to be a criminal investigation.” 

Luna joined the Air Force at age 19 and spent six years in the military, including five on active duty. 

The Biden Air Force improperly disclosed confidential personnel files on candidates opposing Democrats, such as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Judicial Watch filed this lawsuit because this abuse may be a crime and now the Biden administration is trying to cover up the scandal.

Until next week,
