   The Biden White House, at the request of the Justice Department, signed   
   off to have the FBI and the intelligence community examine hundreds of   
   pages of classified documents former President Trump turned over to the   
   National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a newly-surfaced   
   government letter reveals.    
      
   Debra Wall, NARA's acting head, penned a letter to Trump attorney Evan   
   Corcoran May 10 revealing federal officials had been negotiating for   
   months with the Trump team over whether federal law enforcement and   
   intelligence officials should be allowed to conduct a national security   
   review or whether the material should be shielded under Trump’s   
   purported assertion of executive privilege.   
      
   The letter, posted Tuesday on the NARA website, indicates the Biden   
   administration did not believe a former president could assert   
   executive privilege over material that, by law, had to be turned over   
   to NARA.

   They don't believe?  That doesn't sound like legal talk to me.   
      
   Shouldn't they know for sure what they are doing is legal before they   
   raid a former president's house?
