Trump and his legal team intend to sue the Justice Department for its conduct during the FBl's raid on Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, 2022, amid the federal investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records.
After the raid, Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to investigate. Smith ultimately brought 37 felony counts against Trump, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements.
Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, last month, dismissed Smith's case against Trump altogether.
Cannon ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed and funded, citing the Appointments Clause in the Constitution.
Trump attorney Daniel Epstein filed the notice to sue the Justice Department.
The Justice Department has 180 days from the date of receipt to respond to Epstein's notice and come to a resolution. If no resolution is made, Trump's case will move to federal court in the Southern District of Florida.
FBI agents who raided President Trump’s home in 2022 were instructed to prepare to use "deadly force" while executing the search warrant.
The FBI brought a medic and paramedic with them on the raid and listed a nearby trauma center in case of an emergency.
The documents in question were revealed through discovery in the criminal case and were placed on the docket on May 21.
The Mar-a-Lago raid was personally signed off by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
FBI agents did NOT want to raid Mar-a-Lago.
Merrick Garland ORDERED them to do it!

Yeah Aileen Cannon dismissing that charge is not enough to make this a illegal seizure.
lol draw more attention to your criminal charges. Smart strategy.
Is he going to give the proceeds back to the “People”?
Because in reality he is suing the taxpayer.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s, did you want a frosty or not?
