FLORIDA – A First Amendment group is pushing for federal appeals courts to release a report on criminal investigations into President Donald Trump and his handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
The case stems from the president’s possession of classified documents found in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago. The FBI conducted a raid, but the charges against Trump were dismissed last year.
A volume of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on the case remains sealed due to a district judge’s order. The case accused Trump of hoarding classified documents in Florida and not returning them to the government upon request.
In related news, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s website features a controversial banner accusing the far left of attempting to shut down the government. The banner claims, “The radical left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless we get their 15 trillion rich of demands.”
The website also contains a popup window accusing Democrats of keeping the government open, labeling them as leftists and activists. This action raises concerns as a law restricts political activity by federal employees.
Efforts are underway to speak with lawmakers about the situation. An interview with an Idaho Republican in the House is scheduled shortly.
