Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has filed motions to dismiss the case regarding the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago, citing severe constitutional violations. They argue the FBI’s raid, authorized by Attorney General Merrick Garland, lacked the specific details required by the Fourth Amendment and was executed in bad faith. Trump’s attorneys assert, “The warrant did not establish a basis for rummaging through the majority of the rooms,” thus violating his constitutional rights.
Additionally, Trump’s team claims that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), along with the Biden administration and DOJ, colluded in bad faith. They allege that politically biased NARA officials breached regulations by initiating a criminal investigation under the guise of collecting records, thereby infringing on Trump’s due process rights. This misconduct, they argue, unlawfully gathered evidence used against Trump, further undermining his constitutional protections.
In their filings, Trump’s attorneys highlight the unprecedented nature of the raid, contrasting it with the leniency shown in past high-profile cases. They quote, “What was unthinkable with President Clinton and unwarranted with Hillary Clinton was deemed appropriate for President Biden’s chief political rival.” This argument underlines their belief that the raid was not only unconstitutional but also politically motivated, warranting dismissal of the case.
