While Donald Trump's Manhattan trial on trumped up bookkeeping charges is dominating the headlines, recent developments in the Mar-a-Lago documents case deserve greater attention. Judge Aileen Cannon ordered several court filings to be unredacted, and the information is very revealing.
For example, we now know that, in spite of repeated denials, the Biden White House was in fact coordinating with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) about the documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Eventually, NARA accused Donald Trump of stonewalling their demands for the documents and referred him to the Justice Department for criminal charges.
Well, we also just learned that Trump initially didn't have all the documents. The Government Services Administration contacted Trump's office and said it had "six pallets of items," including boxes, that had to be removed from its facilities and demanded that Trump take them.
What was in those boxes?
Who packed them?
Who had access to them?
Did NARA ask the GSA if it still had any boxes?
Why was the GSA so eager to make sure that Trump had them?
Those questions must be answered because this chain of events suggests Trump was being "setup."
As Sean Davis of The Federalist put it, "The corrupt Biden administration sent Trump documents he didn't ask for, then prosecuted him for having them."
