A judge has denied a request by Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO, to recover a cellphone seized by the FBI in September. Lindell is a longtime ally of former president Donald Trump in his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 elections based on false allegations of fraud.

Tostrud also de...

Judge Aileen Cannon has come to the rescue of former president Donald Trump again. Cannon ruled that Trump’s lawyers don’t need to provide evidence to back claims that the FBI lied about the classified documents found in his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called on the FBI to stop listening to leadership after the search of Mar-a-Lago, which was part of the Justice Department’s investigation into possible mishandling of documents by Trump. “When are the great Agents, and others, in the FBI going to say ‘we aren’t going to take it anymore,’ much as they did when James Comey read off a list of all of Crooked Hillary Clinton’s crimes, only to say that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. “The wonderful people of the FBI went absolutely ‘nuts,’ so ...

Former President Donald Trump condemned the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this month as a “shockingly aggressive move” in a new filing. The filing, which requests the appointment of a special master to oversee the Justice Department’s handling of the classified filings found at the Palm Beach, Florida, estate, accuses the search warrant used of being “overbroad,” as well as insinuating that politics played a part in the search. The filing also argued that the seized documents could have fallen under executive privilege so it was unlawful for them to be taken. “Law enforcemen...
