#Trump to sue the #DOJ for $100M, claiming the #FBI’s 2022 raid was a blatant act of “political persecution.”

During the raid federal agents discovered >100 #classified records as they executed a #legal #SearchWarrant at Trump’s FL property. Trump denied the 40 #criminal counts related to his handling of the #ClassifiedDocuments, & the DOJ claims he actively #obstructed govt attempts to retrieve the materials, incl those related to #nuclear secrets & natl #defense.

#FBI agents searched #MarALago on Aug 8, 2022, finding 103 #ClassifiedDocuments that eventually led to his #indictment.
#Trump is seeking to suppress much of that #evidence by arguing that the #SearchWarrant was faulty.
#AileenCannon also said Trump’s defense lawyers were #entitled to a hearing on whether prosecutors had misused statements by one of Trump’s fmr lawyers.

Cannon said she would shortly issue a separate order on when she will hear those issues in court.

Just when you thought you’d had enough…

Judge #AileenCannon said Thurs that she will hold a hearing for #Trump’s lawyers to challenge some of the #evidence gathered against him for alleged mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction of government efforts to retrieve them.

In an 11-page order, the judge said that “further factual development is warranted” when it comes to Trump’s challenge to the #SearchWarrant for #MarALago.

So New York has a new mobile ID app that can display your drivers license. Sounds great, no need to carry a wallet, but think about getting pulled over, and the officer asking for your license. You’ll need to unlock your phone to display it. They then take it from you, and bazinga, you’ve handed an unlocked phone to the police. They can take any information on it, and charge you with any crime there’s evidence of on it, even if you don’t know you committed it? #legal #security #searchwarrant

#Postolnikov has been under increasing scrutiny in the #criminal investigation into the #TrumpMedia merger. Most recently, he has been listed on #SearchWarrant #affidavits alongside several asscs – one of whom was #indicted last month for #MoneyLaundering on top of earlier #InsiderTrading charges.

#ESFamilyTrust was established on 18 May 2021, creation papers show. Postolnikov’s “user” access to the acct was “verified” on 30 Nov 2021 by a #PaxumBank mgr in Dominica.
