Questions grow about Trump raid after revelation of grand jury subpoena, extensive cooperation

Before his Florida home was raided by the FBI, Trump secretly received a grand jury subpoena for classified documents belonging to the National Archives, and voluntarily cooperated by turning over responsive evidence, surrendering security surveillance footage and allowing federal agents and a senior Justice Department lawyer to tour his private storage locker

  • While the cooperation was mostly arranged by his lawyers, Trump personally surprised the DOJ National Security Division prosecutor and three FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago compound on June 3, greeting them as they came to pick up a small number of documents compliant with the subpoena.

The new revelations came the same day that new questions arose about Reinhart, the judge in the case.

  • Just the News obtained a court document showing that Reinhart -- just six weeks before signing the warrant -- recused himself from Trump's lawsuit against Hillary Clinton in the Russia collusion scandal, citing concerns he couldn't be impartial.

Trump’s lawsuit accuses Clinton, Democrat allies, and current and former government officials of engaging in a racketeering conspiracy to falsely portray Trump as colluding with Russia during the 2016 election.

  • The sweeping nature of the suit involves numerous parties and public figures, and comes as reports of Judge Reinhart's prior work surface.

Questions about impartiality surrounding Reinhart's impartiality

  • In a 2017 Facebook post, Reinhart challenged the 45th president's moral character after Trump attacked the late Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon
  • "I generally ignore the President-elect's tweets, but not this one," Reinhart posted, according to the Daily Wire
