Former President Donald Trump’s attorney, Christina Bobb, confirmed that FBI agents searched former First Lady Melania Trump’s closet during its raid of Mar-a-Lago last week.
Bobb, who suggested that Melania wasn’t there, told Newsmax that she “wasn’t allowed to observe what they were doing or see really any part of the raid” when the agents went into her close.
The agents “told me I have no legal standing to be there,” Bobb claimed. “Those were the words they gave to me. We argued over whether that was true or not, and I explained to them … it’s better for you to allow me to observe because then I can’t say, ‘They kept me out and wouldn’t let me observe.’”
“I don’t think anybody just takes the word of the FBI anymore,” she continued. “But they seem to be OK with that risk.”
Last week, former President Trump wrote on Truth Social that agents entered and rummaged through Melania’s closet, appearing to confirm prior reports from the New York Post.
The FBI and Department of Justice have not issued public statements on the claims that agents went into her closet. The Epoch Times has contacted the agencies for comment.
The FBI told Bobb “that they did take some attorney-client privileged information and possibly other privileged documents,” she added to Newsmax on Tuesday. Regarding those documents, Bobb said she is still “waiting for an explanation.”
“If [the federal government] actually had something, at the very least, they would have held a press conference resolving a lot of these questions in Americans’ minds, and they haven’t even done that,” she said. “I don’t think they have anything.”
Battle Over Affidavit
On Monday, the Department of Justice issued a motion that sought to block the affidavit in the case from being released to the public—even in its redacted form. Lawyers for the department said that releasing those documents to the public would harm the agency’s investigation.
A judge in the case, Bruce Reinhart, set a Thursday at 1 p.m. hearing on whether the affidavit should be released. Several third-party groups, watchdogs, and media outlets have made court filings asking for the affidavit to be unsealed, while Trump and other Republicans have called on the government to release it.
The affidavit could potentially reveal what the FBI is trying to investigate and would provide a reason why the Department of Justice sought an FBI search warrant targeting Mar-a-Lago.
“We need the affidavit, show your cards, Merrick Garland can’t have it both ways, he can’t give us the inventory of the warrant without telling us why it was necessary … without the affidavit, we’re flying blind in the dark,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Fox News before adding, “The American people are going through too much pain, too much heartache on this endless effort to destroy Donald Trump.”
Reinhart last week issued an order unsealing the warrant and property receipt, suggesting Trump could be under investigation for possible Espionage Act and obstruction of justice violations.
Several boxes of allegedly classified and top secret documents were taken from the Florida residence, although Trump and his team argued that while he was president, he had a standing order to declassify materials leaving the Oval Office.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
Yes, it’s actually very much like an “opening the door” argument for when one invokes the 5th Amendment against testifying. You can take the 5th for everything—or nothing. But you can’t take it for some questions and not others.
In this case the Federal Magistrate and the DOJ agreed to release the warrant but not the supporting affidavit. I’m confident that an appeals court will require the affidavit to be released to the public as well, although they may allow the redaction of certain names.
The real target of that illegal raid was information about people working with Trump that the FBI iasn’t aware of.
Those people, if any identified, will now be the target of FBI attacks.
In post-Constitutional they play fast and loose with the rules.
A form of heads we win and tails you lose.
All that remains to do is exterminate the deplorables. This is just a warm up.
You can’t trust the FBI today. They are not the Patriots and good cops that I had the pleasure to work with many years ago. There are still a few of those left, but probably not many. The “Seventh FLoor” at the FBI HQ is a hive of partisan Lefty Loons. The Bureau morphed from a law enforcement agency to the Stasi under Bob Mueller after 9-11 and it was the demise of a really good outfit. More’s the pity.
I bet they rubbed their weewees on Melania’s panties.
I’ve heard rumors that the FBI was predominately homosexual males these days-maybe they were trying on gowns?
No surprise. The FBI has a history of crossdressing faggotry. Right, J Edgar Hoover?
If it takes 100 armed FBI agents, a well-planned raid, hours of searching, blowing safes, breaking locks, etc. for the government to find documents, and this after they were welcomed in to the development and onto the property with a warrant, and that after they’d already searched a month earlier themselves, and all that with the Secret Service, security, local police, sheriff, etc. standing aside allowing them through, how in the sam hilll could a foreign government get the documents?
If the FBI had to do all that, then Russia or China would have to send a full battalion.
Tell us Garland, if the documents weren’t secure then why did you need dozens of armed agents, with a warrant, hours of time, expertise to break locks, crack safes, etc., across two searches? If you needed all that, then they must’ve been fairly secure, you reckon? How in the sam hill are you going to argue they weren’t, and keep a straight face?
The FBLie is merely a federally sanctioned criminal organization that was purged during the soetoro administration of all ex-US military patriots, Constitutionalists and true law enforcement personnel.
It is now a democratic party controlled hit squad that kills, arrests, suicides, destroys any person, organization family that gets in the way of the agenda of illegitimate coup cabal now illegally occupying the district of corruption.
