1 Epic Screen Shot Catches Desperate CBS Anchor in Latest Mar-a-Lago Lie
August 16, 2022

The aftermath of the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate has stretched into its second week as the drama continued Monday. A Truth Social post from Trump announced that three of his passports were taken by the FBI agents and techs that conducted the search.

Naturally, the mainstream media leaped at the opportunity to cry foul and claim the prominent Republican was lying. But there is a saying about leaping; something along the lines of looking first.

“Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Five hours later, anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News Norah O’Donnell did the inevitable and proclaimed officiously via Twitter that “According to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports.”

The takedown that followed 29 minutes later from Trump’s director of communications, Taylor Budowich, was as brutal as it was direct.

Budowich called out O’Donnell directly by name and presented a damning email that showed not only had the FBI admitted to taking the passports, but they had done so over four hours prior to her post.

The email from Jay Bratt, Chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the Department of Justice National Security Division, posted in a partly redacted screenshot, confirmed the removal of three passports belonging to Trump from Mar-a-Lago.

Bratt wrote, “We have learned that the filter agents seized three passports belonging to President Trump, two expired and one being his active diplomatic passport. We are returning them, and they will be ready for pickup at WFO at 2 pm today.” Bratt added that he was traveling and seemed to refer Trump’s team to coordinate further with a colleague whose name was redacted.

“In executing search warrants, the FBI follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that do not need to be retained for law enforcement purposes,” the FBI said in a statement reported by The New York Post.

O’Donnell appeared to soften her statement somewhat about 15 minutes before Budowich’s rhetorical bombardment from orbit struck, but it simply wasn’t enough to dampen the blow.
