Secret Service Says Gunfire Reported Near White House Overnight

Attorneys representing the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project are suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for refusing to grant expedited processing of the conservative non-profit's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for copies of communications at the center of the FBI's controversial Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

The government's refusal concerned two Oversight Project FOIA requests. The DOJ request sought copies of all communications between any DOJ employees and entities outside the government, including those in the news media. The NARA request sought copies of all communications between that agency and the Biden White House, DOJ, the FBI, and staff members working for Trump.

The Oversight Project's request for the expedited handling, which is provided under certain circumstances by the FOIA, was based on the intense public interest that exploded as soon as news broke of the raid involving more than 30 FBI agents lasting more than 11 hours and resulting in the removal of thousands of documents from the estate.

During the raid, which was based on the DOJ's belief that Trump illegally kept highly secret, classified documents in unsecured facilities at the estate, FBI agents inspected the wardrobe of former First Lady Melania Trump.

Agents also seized an estimated 11,000 non-classified documents and photographs. A total of 103 documents marked with various levels of classification were also seized by the agents. A photograph released by the FBI following the raid <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11173719/FBI-took-classified-folders-photographs-clothes-books-Mar-Lago.html">reportedly</a> showed multiple folders bearing classification markings that were empty.

The Epoch Times has also reported that the search warrant that enabled the raid <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-government-seized-over-11000-non-classified-documents-from-trumps-home_4706797.html?utm_source=ai&utm_medium=search">specified</a> that agents could also seize information regarding the retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material; any government and/or presidential records created between Jan. 20, 2017, and Jan. 20, 2021; and any evidence “of the knowing alteration, destruction, or concealment of any government and/or Presidential Records, or of any documents with classification markings.”

Mike Howell, Oversight Project Director, said in a<a href="https://www.heritage.org/press/oversight-project-sues-doj-and-national-archives-communications-trump-raid"> statement</a> issued late Sept. 2, that officials within the Biden administration and DOJ have been selectively leaking documents to favored media outlets that have provided supportive coverage of the raid, its aftermath, and its justification.
“Biden’s DOJ and FBI raided Mar-a-Lago over a document dispute. Now, they have a document dispute with us," Howell said in the statement. "Let’s see if the law is truly applied evenly, or if these agencies continue to stonewall our efforts while selectively leaking information to liberal media outlets to advance the narrative [Attorney General] Merrick Garland and [President] Joe Biden want."
Howell is a veteran of major congressional oversight projects, having served as an attorney for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. He is also a former senior official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Trump where he dealt with congressional oversight requests.
“The DOJ is conducting this investigation in an overtly partisan and corrupt manner. The authorized leaks and selective disclosures discredit their entire basis for withholding other information from valid requests such as ours. There is simply no valid ongoing investigation exemption for the communications we are seeking. The American people have a right to these communications, and the administration must turn them over," Howell continued in the statement.
“Since Biden’s administration is ripping the fabric of this country apart at the seams over a document retention issue, let’s be clear—leaks from government officials to media are communications that must be retained and turned over to us. If these leaks occur outside government systems and are not returned to government systems, then they are violating document retention laws. Failure to obtain and turn over these materials is an unacceptable double standard and another reason Americans across the political spectrum are losing trust in the Department of Justice," he said.
“It is unfortunate that private citizens must take their government to court to obtain documents that belong to the people. This is more evidence of a two-tier justice system, where the Washington Post and other liberal media outlets are afforded more rights than ordinary Americans outside the Beltway,” Howell added.
