WATCH: Mark Levin Takes Blowtorch To Biden DOJ On Trump Lawsuit

Conservative host Mark Levin laid out the hypocrisy of President Joe Biden in his administration’s criminal indictment of former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents, declaring Biden a “liar” for claiming to have no involvement in the decision to charge his leading rival. Levin likened the search of Mar-a-Lago and documents in Trump’s possession to that of British kings who rummaged through the businesses of American colonists “in search of criminal behavior.”

Claiming the president has the authority to declassify documents and remove them from the White House, Levin posited that President Trump’s Fourth and Fifth Amendment constitutional rights were violated by the Justice Department in its sweeping search of the president’s Florida compound several months ago. The host, speaking on Fox News, added that President Biden should have known about these violations before signing off on the investigation.

“This is a defective search warrant on many grounds as far as I’m concerned. What about the Fifth Amendment? What about due process? Has Trump received due process?… You cannot be properly defended if you’re accused by a government, and yet in the case of Donald Trump his lawyers were brutalized,” said Levin.

Levin cited a New York Times story from March indicating that a lawyer for the president was compelled to testify about the documents, piercing assertions about the president’s attorney-client privileges with methods that cut to the heart of Trump’s ability to defend himself. Conservative legal analysts have suggested the case could be thrown out for violating Trump’s rights, and he may benefit further as his case has been assigned to a circuit court judge that Trump appointed.

Going further, Levin cited the hypocrisy of DOJ lawyers to ignore legal precedent from former President Bill Clinton’s time in office where his lawyers argued at the time that “[u]nder the statutory scheme established by the [Presidential Records Act], the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the President, during the President’s term, and at his sole discretion.” The case involved audio tapes taken by President Clinton after leaving the White House in 2001.

Key to resolving the criminal case against Trump will be determining whether his actions fall under the Espionage Act of 1917 or the Presidential Records Act. The documents obtained from Mar-a-Lago contained state secrets, prosecutors allege, and could compromise the Unites States’ ability to defend itself against enemies seeking to exploit weaknesses in its defense capabilities. President Trump has maintained that he declassified all records kept in his possession following his departure from the White House in 2021.
