President Joe Biden claims he had no idea that the FBI was raiding Mar-A-Lago, stating: “not one single bit”. Recent revelations reveal it to be a lie.
This raid was ordered deliberately and directly in coordination with the Biden White House; the White House knew of the plans to raid Mar-A-Lago; they were their plans themselves. This was revealed by Just the News.
According to Just the News:
The memos show then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su was engaged in conversations with the FBI, DOJ and National Archives as early as April, shortly after 15 boxes of classified and other materials were voluntarily returned to the federal historical agency from Trump’s Florida home.
By May, Su conveyed to the Archives that President Joe Biden would not object to waiving his predecessor’s claims to executive claims, a decision that opened the door for DOJ to get a grand jury to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any remaining materials he possessed from his presidency.
The machinations are summarized in several memos and emails exchanged between the various agencies in spring 2022, months before the FBI took the added unprecedented step of raiding Trump’s Florida compound with a court-issued search warrant.
So what’s up with Biden’s denial? Could he just be lying through his teeth? Or is he being kept in the dark by his staff and the DOJ? Does he remember anything anymore or is he losing his memory?
What he just told Fox News reporter Pete Doocy about the raid contradicts everything we know:
DOOCY: How much advance notice did you have of the FBI’s plan to raid Mar-a-Lago?

The story was first reported by Fox News:
“I didn’t have any advance notice,” Biden said after making remarks from the White House on Wednesday about his administration’s plan to cancel student loan debt.
“None. Zero. Not one single bit.”
Is Biden lying to the American people? This would be a very serious matter, and possibly impeachable. ThinkCivics will keep you posted as more information comes to light.
