Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani has revealed that Donald Trump could be facing further FBI raids, warning there might be more classified documents in Trump’s possession.
In an interview with Newsweek, Rahmani paints a foreboding picture of potential legal jeopardy looming over the former president.
The latest twist in the ongoing saga of stolen documents involves Brian Butler, a Mar-a-Lago employee, who dropped a bombshell during an interview with CNN. Butler claimed that he assisted Trump aide Walt Nauta in ferrying boxes of documents to a waiting plane back in June 2022. This eyebrow-raising episode unfolded on the very day when Trump and his legal counsel were engaged in discussions with the Justice Department at Mar-a-Lago regarding these classified materials.
Butler, now a key witness for the prosecution, described Nauta’s clandestine request for help in moving the boxes, a departure from his usual duties. According to Butler’s account, Nauta’s demeanor was cautious and guarded, hinting at the gravity of the situation.
“I come to realize now at the same time he’s going in there, the boxes are going from somewhere into a vehicle, which are eventually going to the plane, which I load with Walt,” Butler revealed in his interview.
The boxes in question, as Butler recalls, were none other than the white bankers boxes mentioned in the indictment. This revelation underscores the gravity of the situation and raises questions about the extent of Trump’s involvement.
Despite mounting evidence and suspicions, federal investigators have yet to descend upon Trump’s properties with the same force they exhibited at Mar-a-Lago. Rahmani warns that Trump’s other residences, including his apartment at Trump Tower, could be harboring additional incriminating evidence.
“Prosecutors won’t know if classified documents still remain at Trump’s other homes unless they execute search warrants there,” Rahmani stated.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, especially as Special Counsel Jack Smith weighs his options amidst the backdrop of an impending election. Rahmani acknowledges the reluctance to disrupt the political landscape but underscores the urgency of the situation, particularly given Trump’s history of failing to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas.
