11 States Back Trump in Battle With Biden Administration Over Mar-a-Lago Raid

Eleven Republican attorneys general are backing former President Donald Trump, telling a federal appeals court that the Biden administrationโ€™s โ€œquestionable conductโ€ in other cases should inform its looming decision on records seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) from Trump.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 10 other attorneys general wrote in an amicus brief that the Biden administration tried to impose immigration policies deemed violative of federal law, even after a district court ruled against them. An appeals court soon ordered the administration to stop, finding it had engaged in โ€œgamesmanship in its decision-making.โ€

In another example, a majority of the Supreme Court said the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionโ€™s eviction moratorium was likely illegal, but the court declined to strike down the moratorium because it was going to soon expire. The Biden administration reimposed the moratorium three days after the expiration, even though Biden acknowledged that it was โ€œnot likely to pass constitutional muster.โ€ The Supreme Court then struck it down.

Biden likewise imposed COVID-19 vaccine mandates, even though he said in December 2020 that he wouldnโ€™t.

The actions by the administration justified U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannonโ€™s order to introduce a special master, or independent third party, into the Trump records case, the attorneys general wrote.

โ€œUnder the extraordinary circumstances of this case, the court correctly set aside the presumption of regularity usually afforded to government officials. This Court should affirm that careful decision,โ€ they wrote.

โ€œJoe Bidenโ€™s commitment to weaponizing the DOJ to go after political opponents should deeply concern all Americans,โ€ Paxton said in a statement. โ€œGiven Bidenโ€™s track record, combined with his rhetoric demonizing anyone he disagrees with, the courts must be on high alert to the ways in which DOJ may abuse its power to punish President Donald Trump. At a bare minimum, the Eleventh Circuit should ensure that any privileged information taken from President Trump is returned and the special master stays in place.โ€
