Report: Someone Close To Trump Tipped Off FBI
An informant tipped off the FBI about what documents former President Donald Trump was keeping at his Mar-a-Lago residence and where to find them, according to multiple reports.
The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on Monday. Various media outlets and Trump’s son, Eric Trump, have suggested that it was because of material the former president took from the White House to his home.
Two unnamed senior government officials told Newsweek that an informant revealed to authorities what documents Trump had in his possession and where they were kept.
According to the outlet’s sources, the raid was executed while Trump was away to keep the process under wraps for as long as possible. One official said the move was a “spectacular backfire” after the raid received immense backlash.
The Wall Street Journal’s reporting corroborated the information from Newsweek. The Journal also spoke to unnamed officials familiar with the situation who confirmed that an individual told investigators that there were classified documents at Trump’s Palm Beach residence.
On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.”
“The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken,” Garland said.

I want Garland arrested immediately!
Absolutely Garland should be arrested immediately.
Amen Sister Amen!
probably Clintons, Obama had it planted
You first 4 responders nailed it. Just another made up story to CYA.
Garland is looking for info on Hunter Biden and the big guy, they have the lap top and said first that they lost it, then they said they would turn it over for peruse, and evidence, but so far have sat on it. Garland hopes to clean up the dossier of Hunter and Big guy, by gathering and losing all the info including the lap top. They have to know what Trump is holding in this area, their search is for CYA of a failed demented thieving President and son. Plain to me.
No excuses. No BS! Unprecedented abuse of power and a total violation of his civil rights. There is no logic nor reason connected with their actions, especially considering the abject failure to take any action whatsoever on Hillary’s computer usage. Total abuse of power and total display of partisan political abuse. Wrong? Absolutely. Surprising? Not so much!
Pack your bags all you Democrats that are up for reelection. Your friendly neighborhood DOJ and FBI have pretty much sealed your (what was already) impending defeat with this stunt. Who is running things over there in the Democrat Party? Why on earth would you let such an idiotic thing like this happen. Are you so self-unaware that it sounded like a good idea when you first heard the plan? You just pissed off 80 Million people along with their contacts who will certainly vote you out in November. Maybe that’s exactly what you want. Let the Republican Party “FEEL” like they are in control, knowing full well the Deep State is running the country. They better hope Trump doesn’t run for office and wins in 2024. This dopey tactic will be pointed to as the time when the Democrat Party finally showed that imbeciles are running their party. They’re pathetic. It’s a damn mystery why the Media helps them instead of crushing them once and for all. They’re supposed to help the PUBLIC rid the government of abusers, not save imbeciles from us.
Uh, could we wait until one Leftist is punished for anything before we start talking about how stupid they are?
Right now, they’re making the American public look pathetic and low-IQ.
WE THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE LEFT ARE PATHETIC AND HAVE A LOW IQ………..ANYONE THAT VOTED FOR A 100% PREVARICATOR, THAT WAS CONSTANTLY FINDING SOMETHING TO LAY ON PRESIDENT TRUMP INSTEAD OF RELATING TO SOME GREAT THINGS THAT HE WOULD DO FOR THE LEGAL CITIZENS AND OUR USA IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN EGOIST………
HE NOW IS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR USA ALONG WITH THE LEGAL CITIZENS………WHAT A SHAME THAT HE IS UNAWARE THE THE EMPLOYEES OF THE WHITE HOUSE & GOVERNMENT ARE PAID TO DO A JOB FOR WE THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF RELYING ON ILLEGALS THAT DO NOT WORK, BUT EXPECT A HANDOUT FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE THE LEGAL PEOPLE WORK FOR.
I am ashamed of what the dems did to Trumps house. I am 90 years old and l have never seen such crooked people in our govt. are there no honest democrats left in this country. Is it because Trump won’t play their games. He knows what crooks they are and won’t join them. No honest parts left in or govt.
1. The FBI
2. The DOJ
3. The department of education
4. The pentagon. Destroying our service people.
It goes on and on. The elites think we the common are stupid and need to be told how to live! What to say,
What to eat! What to drive,how to raise our kids. They think our minds are mush.
Well we are ready for battle and l hope we are ready for the battle for our country.
Have they no shame? I guess not. I hope that the rest of you are getting as tired of left wing lies and spin as I am. Time to vote them out. They’re absolutely not satisfied unless they control everything and everyone.
Arrest Garland an remove Biden from our WH he gave the order then lied that he did not know Biden is nothing more then a liar.
There is nothing to tip off for the FBI. They already have everything they wanted. All just stupid fools & now they’ve awakened the Sleeping Giant & opened Pandora’s box.
The FBI did nothing according to the law & I would be questioning & checking to make sure they didn’t plant anything in Trumps home.
These fools just cannot understand that you will always reap what you sow. The reaping will be horrific & God will make sure of it.
All the boxes that left the WH when the “Donald” left must have been hand selected and loaded by Melania otherwise Biden’s perv.’s would not have been handling & sniffing her undergarments.

Nice try ‘Deep State’! This is nothing more than a Phys-ops ploy to sow mistrust in the Trump camp. By planting the seed of an ‘informant’ within Trump’s inner-circle, they are hoping Trump will go an a rampage of retaliation and doubt about the loyalty of his close advisors. This tactic has been used since the dawn of civilization to break up the opposition. These people will stop at nothing to ‘get rid’ of Donald J. Trump. America is no longer a free country.
