Former US President Donald Trump slammed the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the previous raid in his Mar-a-Lago residence, amid the Biden classified documents controversy.
On Tuesday morning, the former US President blasted the FBI and referred to the federal law enforcement agency as the “Gestapo” over the controversial raid to seize alleged classified documents from his Mar-a-Lago residence.
Trump brought up the search and seizure conducted by the FBI last August which netted multiple classified documents of various reported security levels.
In an exclusive report published by the Media ITE, it was revealed that “the seizure came after an 18-month game of cat and mouse in which Trump and his lawyers appeared to purposely obfuscate the possession of materials, which even included a letter signed by a Trump attorney that there were no more classified documents at the Palm Beach manse. Turns out? There were.”
“But in the curious words of Trump himself, many of the so-called documents “were merely inexpensive and very common folders with words such as “Presidential Reading,” “Confidential,” “Classified,” or other words stamped on the front cover.” The former president appears to be making the “I’m just a folder collector” defense, which is rarely used because, well, it is so laughable on the face of it,” the report claimed.
Trump Compares FBI to Nazi ‘Gestapo’ While Claiming Documents Seized from Mar-a-Lago Were ‘Empty Folders’ https://t.co/8JDcuev9bj— Mediaite (@Mediaite) February 14, 2023
The new controversy arose after former President Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, claiming that “many of the so-called “documents” that the “Gestapo” took in the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, unlike the”No Raids of Biden,” were merely inexpensive and very common folders with words such as “Presidential Reading,” “Confidential,” “Classified,” or other words stamped on the front cover.”
“There was nothing inside of the folders because, during meetings where information was passed out, say at the Oval Office, when finished the papers inside were taken back, but the empty folders were left behind,” the former President claimed.
Trump also added, lamenting that “I would put them in a pile and keep them as momentous. Nothing wrong with that, but sounds to me that the Injustice Department views these as DOCUMENTS – They are not! These people are just out looking for trouble! Should be checking Biden’s unsecured classified docs instead.”
“How about the 1,850 Boxes sent to Delaware. That’s the mother load! Or separately, how about revealing who spied on my campaign, stuffed the ballot boxes, or paid off the FBI? That’s what people want to hear!” Trump complained.
