Judge Denies DOJ Effort To Hold Trump Team In Contempt Of Court Over Classified Docs

2022-12-12

[Daily Caller] A federal judge rejected the Justice Department’s (DOJ) request to hold former President Donald Trump’s team in contempt of court for not fully complying with a May subpoena for every document with classification markings that he possessed, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Trump’s team had not yet designated a custodian of records to sign a document assuring that all classified materials were handed over to the federal government, despite the DOJ seeking a sworn, written statement to that effect, according to The Washington Post. The judge ultimately told the DOJ and Trump’s legal team during the sealed proceedings to settle the matter on their own, sources said, ABC News reported.

"The President and his counsel will continue to be transparent and cooperative, even in the face of the highly weaponized and corrupt witch-hunt from the Department of Justice," Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails after they were subpoenaed by Congress, yet absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. If the Department of Justice can go after President Trump, they will surely come after any American who they disagree with."

The FBI’s August raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort discovered 11 sets of classified documents. Trump’s attorneys had previously claimed that Mar-a-Lago was diligently searched for classified documents, the Post reported.

#2 The judge is signalling, maybe DoJ might consider what will happen to them if power ever shifts.

#1 As the lefts heads continue to spin off their bodies, Just maybe Trump did nothing wrong. So the last few months of the Trump raid, slander at the elections, and the media hate dog whistle it turns out to be, yet again, nothing. When will we find these individuals who are running this hate campaign and prosecute them??
