Trump Attorneys Accuse Jack Smith of Concealing FBI Emails Related to Mar-a-Lago Raid | 4 July 2024 | President Donald Trump's lawyers this week accused special counsel Jack Smith of concealing FBI emails related to the August 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid. Biden's FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump's Florida estate. Machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden's DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence. Jack Smith's office has only produced a handful of August 2022 FBI emails related to the Mar-a-Lago raid. Trump's attorneys believe the DOJ and FBI are concealing communications.
