Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have claimed that there were extensive communications between the special counsel’s office, the White House, the Department of Justice, and the National Archives and Records Administration prior to Trump’s indictment.
There is evidence of collaboration between the Biden White House, NARA, DOJ, and intelligence agencies to determine which documents to include in the indictment.
Journalist Julie Kelly posted on X, writing, “To emphasize: Trump’s lawyers told Judge Cannon this afternoon they have evidence that the Biden White House collaborated with NARA, DOJ, and intel agencies to determine which documents to include in Jack Smith’s indictment.” (Trending: Meet The Ultra Rich Megadonors Behind Democrats)
I’ll post a story soon but some bombshell revelations:
• Trove of evidence includes “years” worth of security footage from MAL
•Evidence of “extensive communications” btw White House, NARA, intel agencies and DOJ/Jack Smith prior to indictment to determine which files to…

Government documents also revealed that “White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April.”
“By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency,” Just the News wrote.
The Biden administration waived Trump’s claims to executive privilege, which Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz found surprising.

“On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office — affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum — formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes,” Debra Steidel Wall, acting head of the National Archives wrote.
“I have therefore decided not to honor the former President’s ‘protective’ claim of privilege,” Wall stated.
“I was very surprised,” Dershowitz said of Wall’s letter. “The current president should not be able to waive the executive privilege of a predecessor, without the consent of the former president. Otherwise, [privilege] means nothing. What president will ever discuss anything in private if he knows the man who beat him can and will disclose it?”

Trump’s classified documents trial, scheduled to start in May 2024, may be delayed due to various issues.
“Just left classified docs case hearing in Judge Cannon courtroom,” Kelly wrote. “She will consider a modified trial schedule given numerous issues including voluminous discovery, discovery delays, late delivery of secure location to review evidence and Trump’s conflicting trial schedules.”
Judge Cannon told the attorneys, “I’m just having a hard time seeing how realistically this work can be accomplished in this compressed period of time, given the realities that we’re facing.”
Trump’s legal team wants the trial postponed until after the November election. Additionally, Trump is facing 91 felony indictments from multiple sources.
