On Wednesday, Donald Trump’s attorneys asked Congress to intervene in the dispute over classified documents. Trump’s legal team is headed by attorney Timothy Parlatore. Parlatore maintains that the DOJ misled the public and the courts regarding the sensitive memos that were at President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate.
Parlatore’s legal team sent a letter to Mike Turner, the current House Intelligence Committee Chairman, and also to the Gang of Eight, which is comprised of four members from the Senate and four members from the House of Representatives. The group is bipartisan, with 2 House members and 2 Senate members from each party. The group is briefed on intelligence matters by the executive branch.
The letter stated that last August’s unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago by the FBI was unnecessary and also shielded Congress from being alerted to a lax National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) security system. The letter accuses NARA of not being careful in its handling of secret documents, which can be seen in what took place. According to Trump’s attorneys, the group showed little regard for protecting national secrets when it boxed up classified documents and shipped them to the Florida compound. According to Just The News, Parlatore and his associates wrote,
“The solution to these issues is not a misguided, politically infected, and severely botched criminal investigation, but rather a legislative solution,
The “DOJ should be ordered to stand down, and the intelligence community should instead conduct an appropriate investigation and provide a full report to this Committee, as well as your counterparts in the Senate.”
