Staff Reports
It has been revealed that the White House counsel's office had meetings with a senior aide to Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating the mishandling of classified information by former President Trump. According to White House visitor logs, Jay Bratt, who was appointed as the new chief of staff for Smith in November 2022, and Caroline Saba, the White House's deputy chief of staff, met on March 31, 2023.
Adding to the intrigue was the presence of FBI agent Danielle Ray, who joined the meeting. A few weeks later, Smith's office announced that Trump had been indicted.

In November 2021, Bratt met with White House officials, including Saba and Katherine Riely, during the administration's discussions regarding the presidential records of Trump. These meetings highlight the administration's involvement in the president's actions.
Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of New York City during the time of the Trump's inauguration, criticized the meeting, calling it a "Biden state police." He also noted that the Justice Department should not be meeting with White House officials unless there was a coordinated effort.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, argued that the Justice Department should be transparent regarding the purpose of the meetings. It's only fair for them to reveal if the discussions were related to the investigation. The revelation that Bratt, who was assigned to monitor the storage facilities at Mar-a Lago, became a leading proponent of the FBI raid on Trump's property, further highlights the possibility of a coordinated effort against the president.
The visitor logs' revelations about the White House' involvement in Trump's indictment indicate that there is a serious concern about the level of influence the Biden administration had over the investigation. The American people have a right to know what the administration did, and it's up to the Department of Justice to provide answers.
