Investigators examining foes of Trump seek interviews related to Mar-a-Lago search, AP sources say
Investigators are seeking voluntary interviews as they examine whether officials conspired against Donald Trump and connect the 2016 Russia inquiry to the Mar-a-Lago search.
- On Thursday, Justice Department investigators sought voluntary interviews with law enforcement officials regarding the 2022 FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of an inquiry aiming to establish a conspiracy against the Republican president.
- Investigators previously focused on 2016 Russian interference, but recent requests indicate they are now examining the 2022 Mar-a-Lago search, consistent with Trump's longstanding claims that officials have conspired against him for a decade.
- The prosecutor brought back in April to oversee this inquiry declined to comment on the voluntary requests, which were not made through subpoenas, according to people familiar with the matter.
- Investigating conduct in Florida may provide the Justice Department a legal hook to anchor a potential prosecution, following the 2023 dismissal of Trump's classified documents case by Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon.
- The 2022 search has long infuriated Trump, who decried the FBI action as an invasion of privacy, though it remains unclear if prosecutors will bring charges and the Justice Department declined to comment.
