New FBI memos suggest Biden knew about 2022 Mar-a-Lago search despite denials
FBI memos reveal communication between Biden White House and DOJ months before Mar-a-Lago search, contradicting earlier claims of no involvement, according to newly released documents.
Newly released FBI memos appear to show President Joe Biden knew about the FBI's August 24, 2022, search of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, though the Biden administration and DOJ denied involvement at the time.
After the voluntary return of 15 boxes of classified documents, then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su told the National Archives that Biden would not object to waiving executive privilege.
A memo obtained by Just the News said the event depended on Biden's brief, coordination between White House Counsel and DOJ, and Evan Corcoran's stance on privilege override.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to share Just the News's report alleging the Biden administration facilitated the DOJ's criminal investigation.
The memos concern the 2022 search and include contemporaneous references to August 24, 2022, when President Joe Biden was asked about advanced notice, and relate to DOJ efforts after the voluntary return of 15 boxes.
