One day after federal agents searched Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, an ally of the former president said his phone was taken by the FBI.
The FBI agents visited me while I was traveling with my family. They didn't try to get in touch with my lawyer, who would have arranged for them to have my phone if they wanted it.
The FBI under the direction of Garland would seize the phone of a member of congress.
He told the outlet that his phone contained information about his legislative and political activities, as well as private discussions with his wife, family, and friends.
He slammed the FBI for their "banana-republic tactics" and called it an "unnecessary and aggressive action"
Three months after the House committee on the January 6 Capitol riot subpoenaed Perry along with House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and others, agents seized his phone. The five Republican lawmakers didn't want to cooperate. It is rare for a congressional committee to issue a subpoena.
The panel leaked their latest charade to the media ahead of contacting targeted Members is proof positive that this political witch hunt is about faking headlines and distracts Americans from their abysmal record of running America into the ground.
In the weeks leading up to the Capitol riot, Perry was in contact with the Trump White House many times.
Trump released a statement on Monday saying federal agents had raided his private residence despite his having cooperated with authorities for months to return documents he allegedly took from the White House. There were 15 boxes of records recovered by the National Archives and Records Administration.
The Washington Post reported that a 100 page inventory of unclassified items was found in the boxes recovered in January. The recovered items include a cocktail napkin, a birthday-dinner menu, a phone list, charts, slide decks, letters, memos, maps, talking points, and more.
The warrant for the search was signed by a judge in Florida.
Trump said in a statement that the raid on his home was not necessary or appropriate.
The White House said Tuesday that President Biden was not made aware that the FBI was going to search Trump's house.
Jean-Pierre said that Biden was unaware of the situation. The White House wasn't. We didn't know what happened yesterday and nobody gave us a heads up.
If Republicans win the majority in the House in the upcoming elections, McCarthy will conduct immediate oversight of the DOJ.
McCarthy said that he had seen enough in a statement. The Department of Justice has become politicized. We will leave no stone unturned when Republicans take back the House. Garland, clear your calendar and keep your documents.
