The Biden administration’s Justice Department has come under fire for alleged partisan misuse of classified documents to build a criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
Alleged Document Reclassification Scheme
According to a recent report, senior officials at the FBI and Department of Justice signed off on orders that targeted Trump over the handling of classified materials taken to Mar‑a‑Lago.
Writer Paul Sperry cited newly declassified emails showing former Obama aide Lisa Monaco and ex‑Holder aide Molly Gaston playing key roles in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, which he described as a partisan dragnet against Republicans.
The Department of Justice is accused of retroactively reclassifying documents that Trump had previously declassified, a move that allowed prosecutors to claim he mishandled classified material despite his earlier clearance.
British historian Svetlana Lokhova, who says she was a target of the Russiagate narrative, posted that in January 2021 Trump declassified records implicating CIA operative Stefan Halper and Brennan’s team, and that officials including Avril Haines, Lisa Monaco and others reclassified those documents until 2091.
FBI agents executed a high‑risk raid on Trump’s Florida residence, seizing the files, while Special Counsel Jack Smith charged him under the Espionage Act, alleging felonious retention of the reclassified documents.
John Brennan reportedly met with Smith to serve as a witness in the forthcoming trial, further fueling claims of a coordinated effort to portray Trump as a national security threat.
Critics argue the reclassification was a desperate, partisan tactic, reflecting the broader pattern of the Biden DOJ’s aggressive pursuit of Trump.
The editor of PJ Media warned that the story underscores ongoing government corruption and urged readers to support independent journalism.
