Trump seeks $100M in damages from DOJ for Mar-a-Lago search

Former President Trump is seeking $100 million in damages from the Justice Department following the search of his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla., the latest in a string of challenges to the retrieval of classified records from his home.

The administrative claim, filed last week and first reported Monday, was made a day before the two-year window for seeking damages expired.

The filing echoes numerous other court filings and campaign speeches Trump has made condemning the search of his home, accusing the Justice Department of political bias in its prosecution.

Trump’s home was searched after he was asked numerous times to return the records in his home, including defying a subpoena for the documents. Investigators ultimately found more than 300 records with classified markings during the search, as well as other records from Trump’s time as president.

Trump has already made several failed challenges to the search warrant on his home, which was approved by a Florida-based federal judge in 2022.

A review of that warrant was upheld by the courts, and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals also reversed a decision by Judge Aileen Cannon after she appointed a special master to review the presidential records collected from Trump’s home, ordering their return to the Justice Department.

Cannon also rejected a bid by Trump for what’s known as a Franks hearing on the search of Mar-a-Lago, determining his legal team failed to supply enough evidence to further investigate whether the FBI included false or reckless information in its affidavit for the warrant. Such a hearing would have kicked off the process of excluding evidence gathered during the search from being used at trial.

Can I seek $200M in damages because he filed this, since he is wasting my time and the time of all US citizens?
Asking for me and a bunch of friends.

I'm wondering though if its more don't kill me Putin, etc. "money"

I still find it weird that a man with all this money and golf courses all over the world is fighting to be President to stay out jail instead of doing a tour of all his bolt hole choices. Maybe he isn't thinking clearly because his youngest son Barron is finally an adult?

Trust me, I STILL have reason to look down on ANYONE named Trump.  



And let's hope the government countersues for the costs of the continued attempts to get Donald to turn over the documents.

I know, I know, but I can hope.

Hoping for a counter suit is nice but meanwhile I am totally PO'd at all the tax payer money that is being wasted by FOPA and his minions when they file all these spurious lawsuits. 
There should be a point where we could recover those costs from him. Like three strikes and you pay...

He is ridiculous.

lawfare = prosecuting the criminal acts of DT.
mobilizing the JD for doing so? that is justice.
