(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained 207 pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records that reveal the FBI’s concerns about the legal basis for the raid of then-former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The records expose deep concerns within the FBI itself, including explicit objections from field agents who warned the U.S. Department of Justice that the unprecedented August 8, 2022, raid on Trump’s home lacked probable cause.

Shockwaves ripple through Washington as newly released FBI documents reveal intense internal opposition to the now-infamous Mar-a-Lago raid on former President Trump’s estate! Judicial Watch’s explosive FOIA haul exposes that FBI field agents slammed the Justice Department’s decision, bluntly warning there was no probable cause justifying the August 8, 2022, raid and urging a cooperative approach with Trump’s legal team instead. Despite the clear objections from the Washington Field Office, the DOJ bulldozed ahead, rejecting pleas to pursue a peaceful recovery of documents through the National Archives, sparking fierce controversy over the legal and political fallout still reverberating today!
