D’Antuono noted that there were “several abnormalities” with the department’s process leading up to the raid.
Aformer senior FBI official testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week regarding the FBI’s raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last August.
During Steven D’Antuono’s testimony, he expressed “strong concerns” with how the FBI executed the Mar-a-Lago raid. D’Antuono was the former Assistant Director of the FBI Washington Field Office.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland where he described the testimony.
“During his testimony, Mr. D’Antuono expressed strong concerns with the [Justice] Department’s pursuit of the raid and noted several unusual features in the Department’s handling of the case,” the letter states. “Mr. D’Antuono, who had over two decades of FBI experience, noted his frustration that the FBI was going to be ‘left holding the bag again’ with respect to the search of President Trump’s residence.”
