Wall Street Journal Features Jim Trusty Analysis on Mar-a-Lago Investigation Irregularities

In a recent Wall Street Journal opinion piece, partner James Trusty provides compelling analysis of newly disclosed emails that reveal significant FBI-DOJ tensions over the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation. Drawing from his firsthand experience as part of former President Trump’s legal team during the August 2022 FBI raid, Trusty highlights communications showing FBI officials initially resisted DOJ pressure to pursue criminal charges, arguing there was insufficient probable cause and that cooperation was proceeding appropriately through normal channels.

An expanded version of Trusty’s analysis – “The Truth Will Out – Even About Mar-a-Lago,” provides further context on what the former federal prosecutor with 27 years of experience characterizes as unprecedented irregularities in the investigation’s conduct, including the contrasting treatment of similar classified documents situations involving previous administrations.
