The National Archives claims to champion transparency, stating that the American people have a right to know what’s happening with the documents of their leaders. This makes it all the more baffling that they are currently withholding 85% of documents relating to an unprecedented dispute with former President Trump.
This dispute centers around a raid over a manufactured document disagreement that was initiated by the Biden Administration and the Justice Department. The ensuing grand jury investigation, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, has many questioning the legality and motivation behind these actions.
In previous cases involving former presidents, such as Bill Clinton, the Justice Department and the courts have ruled that the president has discretion over their documents, considering them “personal.” However, the rules seem to have changed when it comes to Trump.
As it stands, only 15% of the records related to this document dispute and raid have been released. Judicial Watch has been fighting for these records, and their lawsuit has uncovered further evidence of the Biden White House’s direct involvement in the dispute. They initiated a special access request that advanced the FBI investigations of Trump’s records.
This situation raises concerns over the integrity of the National Archives and the abuse of power by the Biden Administration. The goal appears to be jailing Trump, regardless of the damage it does to the rule of law and America’s constitutional republic.
Moreover, the records dispute has taken on an even more sinister tone with the knowledge that the Biden Administration was simultaneously pretending Trump was a criminal while knowing that Joe Biden himself had records he shouldn’t have possessed.
This is not about whether or not one should support Trump; it is about protecting the rights and civil liberties of all individuals engaged in politics. The actions of the Biden Administration and the National Archives are a blatant attempt to interfere with elections and jail political opponents.
Judicial Watch remains committed to fighting against this abuse of power and shedding light on the corruption taking place. Their ongoing lawsuits and investigations are crucial in holding those responsible accountable and defending the principles of the United States’ democratic system.
