Mar-a-Lago special master orders Trump team to back up any claims of FBI 'planting' evidence

The special master overseeing the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation has ordered former President Donald Trump's lawyers to back up out-of-court assertions that the FBI may have planted evidence at the property during their search last month.

Judge Raymond Dearie, the court-appointed special master, said in a filing Thursday that Trump's team needs to submit a sworn declaration saying if they believe the Justice Department included any items on their "inventory" of materials taken from Mar-a-Lago that were not actually seized during the search.

The declaration must include "a list of any specific items set forth in the Detailed Property Inventory that Plaintiff asserts were not seized from the Premises on August 8, 2022," Dearie wrote in the order.

This has come up as an issue in the case because Trump himself, some of his attorneys, and several of his outside Republican allies have publicly claimed that the FBI planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago during the August 8 search.

However, they have offered no evidence to support these accusations.

The judge set a September 30 deadline for Trump's lawyers to submit this sworn declaration. He also asked the Justice Department to submit declarations attesting to key facts regarding the search.

There were no accusations, [ass-hole]. THey were merely stating the possibilities arising from such an outrageous military-style RAID of a private, secured residential compound...that has been constantly monitored by Secret Service agents.

Donald Trump has claimed presidents can declassify documents by the power of thought alone.






Speaking to Sean Hannity of Fox News in an interview broadcast on Wednesday, the former US president said: “Different people say different things but as I understand it, if you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.

“Because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or wherever you’re sending it. There doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process, but there doesn’t have to be.

“You’re the president – you make that decision.”

This Trump chosen Special Master is not really working out too well for Trump.

He must have gotten some bad advice again.

LOL, the SM who has been neutered by the DOJ/FBI saying trust up on what's in the documents.

Reminds me of the stolen election by Biden they couldn't prove. LOL!

I do not believe this at all. How would anyone know what was alleged to be planted unless they knew what was alleged to be taken?

A random guy doesn't yell that was planted until the search turns up a baggie. But they all say if anyone finds a baggie, it was planted.

 

[MaryL]

So that entire concept of "innocent until proven guilty" thing, that just goes bye-bye? Once you get past that, everything is OK? This is the road LIBERALS are taking us down...are you good with that?

Can you be more specific? How exactly was the SM neutered?

 

[Damaged Eagle]

If the FBI didn't document every shred of supposed evidence they took prior to leaving the home, other than saying box of papers, then the FBI doesn't have a leg to stand on.

That's called chain-of-custody.

*****SMILE*****

Dearie is widely respected by everyone who has dealt with him. Appointed by Reagan.

You would be hard-pressed to find a more Liberal lawyer than Scott Hechinger, who was one of the leading voices for bail reform in NYC.

In the mean time, Trump has three different versions of how all this went down. He said the documents were declassified in his mind, lol, but his lawyers couldn't prove that, so they are considered classified. Secondly, Trump said the documents were planted by the FBI, but also said they also belonged to him. Which one are you going with?

Really. The babbling demented old president and that deluded cult of a political party, but you know that. Why bother asking? Like you care.

All of the documents belong to him as well as the clothing, shoes, toys, gifts, photos magazines and newspaper clippings. If anything was found that jeopardized national security, that was planted. Or not planted, just added after the panty raid.
