President Joe Biden was not informed before the
FBI search on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, the White House said Tuesday.
"No, the president was not briefed, was not aware of it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing. “No one at the White House was given a heads up.”
"That's up for the Department of Justice to decide,” Jean-Pierre said. “When it comes to the criminal investigation, it is independent and they make that decision.”
"The President believes in the rule of law," she added. "The President believes in the independence of the Department of Justice."
That's a new perspective from the oval office.
