Just weeks before Special Counsel Jack Smith brought charges against Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents, Smith’s team met with Biden White House officials, raising concerns about a ‘weaponized’ and coordinated attack on Trump.
Biden has repeatedly claimed that the DOJ isn’t ‘weaponized.’
According to a recent report, a member of Jack Smith’s team, Jay Bratt, met with the deputy chief of staff for the WH counsel’s office, Caroline Saba, on March 31, 9 weeks before the Trump indictment.
The two met and were joined by FBI agent Danielle Ray.
Bratt also met with Saba at the White House in November 2021, when Trump’s legal team was discussing with the National Archives over the presidential records from his Mar-a-Lago estate just before the formal investigation.
The Bratt had a third meeting in the White House, this time in September 2021, with Katherine Reily, an advisor to the White House chief of staff’s office.
However, logs offer no information about what was discussed at the meetings.
Legal experts questioned why Bratt was meeting with the White House counsel’s office while part of an active investigation into Trump.
“There is no legitimate purpose for a line [DOJ] guy to be meeting with the White House except if it’s coordinated by the highest levels,” said former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
In May, Saba left the White House to attend law school.
As Mark Levin weighed on the story, writing on X:
THIS IS A MASSIVE STORY!
That’s why it will be ignored by the Democrat Party media. That said, Bratt not only met with Biden’s staff at the White House while investigating Donald Trump and weeks before Trump was charged, Bratt is the senior DOJ official who insisted on securing a warrant and sending an FBI SWAT team to Mar-a-Lago and, Bratt stands accused by Stanley Woodward, who represents Walt Nauta in the documents case, of extorting him (Bratt allegedly told Woodward that the judgeship he is seeking has a better chance if his client turns on Trump). Judge Cannon should order, from the bench, that all records related to Bratt’s meetings and discussions at the White House be preserved and provided to the court, and she should ask the DC judge who has been dragging his feet in his secret review of the allegation against Bratt by Woodward transfer that matter and all the information related to it to her as it clearly bears on the document case that is now before her and in her jurisdiction.
Yet again, I am forced to ask, where the hell are Trump’s lawyers? They should file a motion immediately seeking a court order for the information (mentioned above) and make a big stink about this outrageous news.
Let me add another important point. THIS CLEARLY adds to the overwhelming case for a special counsel, as this not only creates the impression of a conflict of interest but a conflict of interest in fact. The Biden administration cannot be relied on to truthfully explain itself. The standard for appointing a special counsel — a qualified lawyer from outside the government — has been met again!
Rudy Giuliani was asked if he thought the White House and special counsel were coordinating, to which he responded, “You’re damn right I do.”
“What’s happening is they have trashed every ethical rule that exists, and they have created a state police. It is a Biden state prosecutor and a Biden state police.”
Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley of George Washington University told the outlet that the March meeting was particularly troublesome and “raises obvious concerns about visits to the White House after [Bratt] began his work with the special counsel.”
“There is no reason why the Justice Department should not be able to confirm whether this meeting was related to the ongoing investigation or concerns some other matter,” said Turley.
