Donald Trump filed a new lawsuit involving the FBI raid on his Florida home. Tuesday, a Federal Judge (appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump) ordered Trump’s legal team to answer several key questions. The Judge wants to know why her Court should be the one to hear the case and what he wants her to accomplish.
In addition, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Trump must explain how his lawsuit affects the case before a federal magistrate judge in the same Court and whether or not it has been served on the Department of Justice. Additionally, Cannon wants to know if Trump is seeking any injunctions regarding the raid’s materials.
Cannon’s order comes a day after Trump filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Trump’s legal team is asking her to appoint a special master to review documents seized on August 8 during an FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort residence in Palm Beach.
Judge Cannon gave him and his lawyers until Friday to answer her questions. Trump intends to prevent the DOJ from examining the seized documents until a special master examines them. There is usually a need to take this step when legal privileges may require withholding some evidence from prosecutors.
When Trump left office in January 2021, the DOJ began investigating the removal of White House documents. Under the law, presidential records must be turned over to the National Archives. An FBI search-and-seizure warrant shows that the DOJ is investigating espionage and obstruction of justice violations at Mar-a-Lago. A raid resulted in the seizure of multiple top-secret documents. In a statement, Trump claimed the raid was illegal and intended to harm his chances of regaining the White House if he runs again.
Cannon wrote in her order Tuesday: The Court has received Plaintiff’s Motion for Judicial Oversight and Additional Relief. Plaintiff will file a supplement to the Motion on or before August 26, 2022, that outlines: (1) the asserted basis for exercising this Court’s jurisdiction, whether legal, equitable/anomalous, or both; (2) the framework applicable to exercising such jurisdiction; Cannon wrote. Additionally, the Judge instructed Trump’s team to detail the relief they were seeking, including (3) any injunctive relief request pending resolution of the Motion; (4) how the proceeding before Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart affected the case; and (5) how Plaintiff was progressing in perfecting service on Defendant.
Reinhart signed the warrant authorizing the raid. Media outlets have asked him to unseal an affidavit that the DOJ filed explaining the need for the search.
A letter from the National Archives said classified material had been found in boxes Trump handed over to that agency in January. According to the National Archives letter, among the 700 pages are top secret, sensitive compartmented information, and special access programs, according to the National Archives letter.
You have to wonder why one party wants to spend 80% of their time trying to destroy the other party.
Here’s an idea that could be considered. All senators and congresspeople sit at one table and alternate R and D, R and D. That way it’s not one side against the other. Put objective on the table and position the meeting that no one leaves until an agreement is agreed on by both parties. It works but do they have the stomach to do it?
If the democrats worked as hard at honoring and following the Constitution and laws of America as they do of trying to tear down President Trump. Our present government is so much wanting a Soviet styled Marxist government that it can’t think straight. All they can think of is getting Trump because he said he wanted to drain the swamp. They are the swamp on steroids and they are scared their evil ways and plans are going to be found out. Especially by the people they conned into voting for them. “What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive”. Hope they are caught in the weave of their making.

This administration is beyond corrupt — As an “Independent” voter I am horrified and very concerned about this nation’s democratic process being taken away by those truly in power. Biden is just a puppet for the “evil” ones pulling his strings!
The Bidens are bought and paid for. The FBI and DoJ are part of the cartel of crime in Washington. We the people are in trouble if we don’t vote in a congress with internal fortitude to start the change .
Has Obama given back the files he took with
him when he left office???
I think the Biden,s are afraid that everything is starting to come to a end and that is what the doj are all up set but he should never have been the president he just wants to screw as many as he can before he is out of this office of top man in office but he is not in a lot of Americans eyes
