  • JUST THE NEWS "FBI, Documents Kept After Trump's Term Ended, Revealed"



The chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee is urging the Department of Justice to request that all prior criminal cases against President Donald Trump be dismissed by federal courts.


This aims to permanently end the decade-long legal onslaught against Trump, who was twice elected president by the American people, waged by the Obama-Biden-era FBI, Just the News reported Wednesday night.


"It's time for all of this to end now," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Wednesday night, after Just the News reported that the FBI secretly preserved evidence in the Jan. 6-related case, which was dismissed, until 2030, late into President Biden's term.


Just the News’ report raised concerns that the FBI could re-prosecute Trump after he leaves office.


Investigators in the controversial Arctic Frost case, which looked into alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, wrote a new memo believing Trump violated the law, presenting a new roadmap for prosecution after Trump's immunity from prosecution expires in 2029.


Jordan, who played a pivotal role in refuting allegations of Russian collusion against former President Trump and exposing FBI abuses against conservatives since 2016, responded to the report by stating that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche should declare, "This is over. Let it go."


He said that the Justice Department requesting the courts to dismiss all prior prosecutions with prejudice "is the right way to go."


FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News in an interview that the decision to conceal evidence in the dismissed "Arctic Frost" case before he took over as director was wrong, an abuse, and contrary to normal FBI procedure. He added that the FBI's special team that handled the case has been disbanded.


"The FBI is here to protect the country, not to hoard political prosecutions for the next administration," he emphasized.


According to FBI internal memos and emails obtained by Just the News regarding the controversial conclusion of the Arctic Frost investigation, the FBI decided not to return evidence even after Smith filed to dismiss the case against Trump, contrary to the usual practice of FBI agents. According to the memos, the FBI issued a preservation order to keep the evidence for two years due to ongoing litigation, a measure that is expected to remain in place even after the end of Trump's second term.


After Trump's victory in November 2024, defeating Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, Special Counsel Jack Smith attempted to dismiss the Jan. 6 case against Trump "without prejudice," leaving the door open for future prosecution.


U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, appointed by President Barack Obama, accepted Smith's request for dismissal, citing the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel's position that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted by his own Justice Department.


One of the key "case closure" documents obtained by Just the News came from the FBI Washington Field Office's CR-15 team and was dated February 5, 2025, just weeks into Trump's second term, when many FBI agents and executives were still in place.


The newly released final document from early 2025 reiterated the broad criminal allegations against Trump pursued by Smith and the FBI, and intended to retain all evidence for at least five years, until February 2030, when the Justice Department's guidance prohibiting prosecution of a sitting president would no longer apply, as Trump would again be a former president.


The document included a summary of the findings of the Trump-related investigations conducted by Smith and the FBI, stating that "the FBI investigation was initiated based on specific and clear facts and circumstances indicating that individuals associated with the Donald J. Trump presidential campaign ('Trump Campaign') engaged in violations of federal law."


Internal FBI memos claimed, "The investigation revealed that Donald J. Trump committed criminal acts to regain power after losing the 2020 election. Trump, along with several co-conspirators, implemented a series of plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states where he lost (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin)."


The FBI memos stated that "the evidence preservation agreement specifies that the evidence will be preserved until at least February 1, 2030, and under no circumstances will it be preserved prior to the lifting of the evidence freeze and litigation hold, and the Special Counsel's Office also agreed to the evidence preservation," according to Just the News.
