What did they find in the villa?

Donald Trump and his supporters accuse Garland of a witch hunt aimed at derailing his potential re-election in 2024. Pressured by the need for greater transparency, the Attorney General last Friday issued a warrant for a controversial investigation into Mar-a-Lago. which is related to possible violations of the Espionage Act of 1917.

The main accusation, apparently threatening the former president, is that, when he left the White House, he took with him to Mar-a-Lago a number of documents that were supposed to be kept in the National Archives, some of which were top secret. The Washington Post wrote that some of them were connected to the US nuclear arsenal, while other sources reported that a document containing information about French President Emmanuel Macron was also found, without providing further details.

Along with issuing the warrant, the Justice Department announced that among the documents found by FBI agents in Mar-a-Lago were 11 “document packages” containing classified material of as yet unknown content. Trump himself insisted that all the documents found were in his possession legally, since either they were never classified, or, otherwise, he himself declassified them while still being president.

On Monday, the former president revealed that FBI agents had seized three of his passports (only one of which was still valid) during an investigation, saying he was the victim of “an attack on a political opponent the likes of which we have never seen before in our country.” The United States is becoming a third world,” he characteristically wrote.

“Black Money”

The agreement does not include a clause, according to the same sources, that would obligate Weiselberg to testify against the Trump group in investigations related to allegations of tax evasion.

In the most important of these, Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and one of Trump’s most bitter rivalries within the Republicans, fought a very difficult battle in Wyoming with former president’s fiancee Harriet Hageman.
