GOP Launches Probe Over FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid, Rand Paul Says AG Garland Could Be Impeached

Oversight GOP figures are requesting the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) provide information on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) raid of former president Donald Trump's resort in Mar-a-Lago

  • 20 Republicans, including numerous Committee ranking members, wrote in an Aug. 10 letter addressed to U.S. Acting Archivist Debra Wall requesting an immediate briefing on the raid.
  • The letter alleges that "political motivation" underlies the actions of the FBI and National Archives, as the agencies' treatment of Trump was "so contrary" to that of other former government officials

What Republicans Are Requesting

  • GOP members of Congress are requesting that the NARA provide a "Member-level briefing" on the following no later than Aug. 17:
  • Any evidence of coordination between NARA and the FBI on raiding the former president's property
  • Any documents NARA produced and submitted to a U.S. federal court
  • Documents that show NARA's process in collecting presidential records after a presidential transition
  • Preserve records related to the warrant executed by the FBI at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

Trump’s Presidential Records

  • While the FBI search warrant for the raid remains under seal, multiple sources close to Trump have stated that the raid was conducted, at least in name, to look for presidential records that someone is alleging Trump himself has decided to keep in Mar-a-Lago after leaving office.
