From Just the News:
The conservative watchdog Judicial Watch on Wednesday filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Justice Department, demanding access to FBI records of social media posts made by the federal agent leading the investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
There have been two separate assassination attempts on the former president this year. The first occurred over the summer in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which a bullet grazed Trump’s ear after he had turned his head to look at a chart. The second planned attempt occurred last month in West Palm Beach, Florida, but was shut down before any shots were fired.
Judicial Watch is attempting to look into reports that top FBI officials instructed Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri, who now leads the Miami Field Office that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, to delete his anti-Trump social media posts before it could promote him.
The lawsuit comes after the DOJ refused to comply with their FOIA request from 2023.
