A copy of the search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago on Monday must be made public, according to a federal court’s order to the Biden Justice Department.
After the Times-Union and Judicial Watch asked for it, Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the DOJ to “respond to the motion to unseal” the warrant.
The DOJ was ordered by the court to respond by August 15th.
Reinhart authorized the FBI to conduct a “unannounced raid on my residence” at the former president’s home in South Florida. More than ten years ago, he took a leave of absence from a local U.S. Attorney’s office to defend Jeffrey Epstein’s staff after they were granted immunity during the protracted sex trafficking investigation.
Post in New York:
Reinhart transitioned to the magistrate judiciary in March 2018 after ten years in private practice. The Miami Herald reported in November that many of Epstein’s employees, including his pilots, scheduler Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcinkova—whom Epstein referred to as his “Yugoslavian sex slave”—had been represented by Reinhart.
In a 2007 agreement with federal authorities, Kellen and Marcinkova received immunity, allowing Epstein to plead guilty to state charges rather than federal ones. Epstein received work release after serving 13 months in jail.
The judge was charged in a civil complaint in 2018 with violating DOJ rules by taking a different stance during the Epstein investigation, the Herald reports. According to the article, Reinhart won Epstein’s support by using inside information.
In an affidavit from 2011, Reinhart denied wrongdoing and asserted that because he was not a subject of any federal investigation, he had no inside knowledge of the Epstein case.
Trump’s lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, asserted that the warrant was “sealed” when police searched his home.
Another Trump attorney, Christian Bobb, told Real America’s Voice that he initially introduced himself as the president’s attorney when he arrived. I asked for a warrant.
The first thing they said was, “We don’t have to show you. According to Mediaite, there was debate over whether it was appropriate to withhold the warrant while searching the former president’s home. The former president is anticipated to run as the Republican candidate in the upcoming election.
It was frail. Bobb claimed that the affidavit establishing the warrant’s probable cause has been sealed in accordance with open records.
Trump and his attorneys undoubtedly had a copy of the order, according to a number of observers, but Bobb denied this.
Do we not see it? We need to ask a judge to reveal what might or might not occur. Although they were allowed to search, we don’t know why,” she said.
They said they were looking for top-secret materials, Bobb continued.
It is very dangerous to weaponize and use the federal government against the citizens of this country. In my opinion this should not be done. Where is our protection. It looks like we are losing the right to have any say in our government. The founding fathers would not approve.
Take the justis dept away from the president and political parties all together,. Make it a 4 and equal branch with, executive, judical, and legeslature answerable to no one bjt the constitution..
And get rid of the fbi, and the IRS for the same reason.! Weaponised Home land security also.
Give the investigations job to United States Marshals that we’ve always had ,..! Enough of the bullshit..!
Another Attack on President Trump AND the People; Another Fail, Evidence to Wake Anyone, still Sleeping! God Alway’s Win’s!
The tweet didn’t allude to anything they were looking for, so if that’s what they used for probable cause we’ve got a problem. I’m just going to sit back and watch this unfold. And don’t they have to announce the search warrant to the ” suspect”? Shouldn’t they have to tell President Trump they were going to do that?
