The Federal Bureau of Investigations special agent who sought a search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago acknowledged in his affidavit a Breitbart News article laying out the Trump team’s defense.
The May 5, 2022, Breitbart News article featured an interview with former Trump Pentagon Chief of Staff Kash Patel, who said a report claiming classified materials were found at Mar-a-Lago is misleading and that then-President Trump had already declassified the materials, but the markings had not yet been updated.
“Trump declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought the American public should have the right to read themselves,” Patel had told Breitbart News in a phone interview back in May, long before the FBI’s raid.
