I don’t think so.

I think it's unlikely we're going to be able to investigate this from afar. The FBI probably have better information. :D

No it hasn’t. Verified by who?

FBI don’t routinely provide public affirmation of evidence.

I guess we are going to have to wait to see just what it all means for Trump and whether he is prosecuted for whatever the FBI think he may have done.In the meantime it's just speculation on our part.

DOJ's filing says the release of the FBI affidavit would "irreparably harm the government's ongoing criminal investigation…

The filing goes on to say..

1) The FBI affidavit makes reference to cooperating witnesses. DOJ says their identities need to remain protected.

"Co-operating witnesses" suggests this.

I don't know if this is related to the raid, sounds like it could be.

Trump-allied lawyers pursued voting machine data in multiple states, records reveal

A team of computer experts directed by lawyers allied with President Donald Trump copied sensitive data from election systems in Georgia as part of a secretive, multistate effort to access voting equipment that was broader, more organized and more successful than previously reported, according to emails and other records obtained by The Washington Post.

As they worked to overturn Trump’s 2020 election defeat, the lawyers asked a forensic data firm to access county election systems in at least three battleground states, according to the documents and interviews. The firm charged an upfront retainer fee for each job, which in one case was $26,000.

Wonder if this is "the mole"?

Trump’s former Deputy WH Counsel tried to help National Archives retrieve the material.

“It’s not theirs, it’s mine,” Trump said.

BREAKING: A Florida judge is suggesting a redacted version of the fomer U.S President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago FBI search affidavit, that could allow it to be unsealed.

“I can’t imagine we’re going to see an enormous amount here. But I will say I’m surprised we’re going to see anything at all,” CBS News Legal Contributor Jessica Levinson says. - CBS News.

Presumably, the name of the source will be redacted along with any info that might identify them?

LATEST: Former U.S President Donald Trump has urged a Federal Judge in Florida to block FBI access to materials removed during a raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate. - Sky News.

Quote:

"This matter has captured the attention of the American public. Merely 'adequate' safeguards are not acceptable when the matter at hand involves not only the constitutional rights of President Trump, but also the presumption of executive privilege,

Law enforcement is a shield that protects America. It cannot be used as a weapon for political purposes," his lawyers wrote.
