Obama-Appointed Judge Declines to Hold Trump in Contempt Over Classified Documents

 The Justice Department asked a federal judge to hold President Trump's team in contempt for 'failing to comply with a subpoena' related to the Mar-a-Lago documents. The DOJ asked US District Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, to hold Trump's office in contempt.

Judge Howell refused to hold Trump in contempt

  • Judge Howell instead urged the Justice Department and Trump's legal team to resolve the dispute themselves.
  • Trump's team has vowed to continue to be transparent and cooperative, even in the face of the highly weaponized and corrupt witch-hunt from the Department of 'Justice.'"

Trump's lawyers were forced to search at least two of Trump's properties for classified materials after the Mar-a-Lago raid.

  • The lawyers were instructed by an Obama-appointed federal judge to search Trump's New Jersey Bedminster golf club and Trump Tower New York to "attest they had fully complied with a May grand jury subpoena."
