Internal government documents turned over in the case provide one of the most glaring examples to date of the degree to which #Trump now directs federal law enforcement actions & uses agencies to target his perceived enemies.
The #SecretService questioned #JamesComey about the 2025 photograph of seashells he posted, & an agent received a “direct request” from Trump to forward him details from that interview, acc/to the documents.
That summary was sent to Air Force One, even as #Trump told Fox News that same day that he was “not going to get involved” in the case.
#SecretService agents tailed #JamesComey’s car from North Carolina to Virginia. The “# 3 guy at DOJ ‘wanted to ping’” Comey’s phone without a traditional #warrant, according to the filing, a request that’s typically used only when an emergency — a dangerous, fleeing suspect, for instance — requires immediate action.
