FBI search causes political storm and could speed up Trump’s re-election
Hours after it was revealed that the FBI raided his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Donald Trump posted a campaign video on his Pravda social network, fueling rumors that he was preparing to announce his re-election to the presidency.
The video, which is nearly four minutes long, begins in black and white with the sound of thunder and the former president’s voice announcing that America is “a nation in decline.”
Trump lists what he says are the country’s problems and failures, and then the video is shown in color with an upbeat message because “soon we’ll have greatness again.”
Rumors that Donald Trump wants to announce his re-run in the 2024 presidential election have been circulating for weeks and have been resurrected with this video posted today after the searches, which point to a criminal investigation into the former president.
Speaking at the conservative CPAC forum on Saturday about a possible 2024 candidacy, Trump said “maybe it needs to be done” while presenting himself as “harassed” by Democrats.
“If I had stayed at home, the persecution of Donald Trump would have stopped immediately, but I can’t do that because I love my country and I love the people.”he said.
“America’s return will begin in November and will continue at an unstoppable pace that we will create in November 2024.”said another in a speech for almost two hours.
Reacting to the search for a potential Republican nominee, former U.S. Attorney Dennis Aftergut told NBC News today that the Justice Department’s move against Trump would “only spur” his presidential ambitions.
“Trump may believe that the indictment will help his political profile by furthering the campaign’s enduring theme that he is a reviled martyr.”says Aftergut.
The former prosecutor also emphasized that even if Trump is charged and found guilty of the crime, it will be sometime before November 2024, and this will give him the opportunity to say that he will appeal the verdict and may remain in the race.
Political scientist Jeffrey Cummins recently told Lusa that investigating and prosecuting a potential president is uncharted territory in American history.
“It is not clear what will happen if a criminal case is initiated and Trump wins the election. We’ve never had such a situation.”he said.
The events in Mar-a-Lago provoked a strong reaction from conservative commentators and supporters of Donald Trump, some of whom spoke of “war” and “civil war”. Such was the case with white supremacist Nicholas J. Fuentes, website The Gateway Pundit, and commentator Stephen Crowder.
The FBI searches, according to sources cited by various media sources and confirmed by his son Eric Trump, are related to classified documents that Donald Trump removed from the White House and took to his residence in Mar-a-Lago without permission, which is a crime. .
Section 18/2071 of the US Penal Code prohibits the concealment, removal, mutilation, deletion, or destruction of documents belonging to the US government. Punishment can range from a fine to three years in prison, and if convicted, the defendant can no longer hold official positions.
In January, the National Archives discovered that Trump had taken home 15 boxes of documents, including items containing classified national security information, and briefed Congress.
An FBI search warrant had to be authorized by senior Justice Department officials and signed by a federal judge if there were strong indications that a crime had been committed.
With Trump’s possible re-run for president, Trump and the Republican Party are accusing the Justice Department, led by Merrick Garland, of politicizing justice and using it as a weapon against political opponents.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has vowed to investigate Garland and the Department if Republicans regain control in the November midterm elections, as polls predict.
But former U.S. Attorney Brian Jacobs told NPR radio that the political calendar cannot pause or speed up criminal investigations.
“I think prosecutors in the Justice Department know they can’t choose the timing of investigations or criminal charges to influence any election.”.

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!
Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.
Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.
The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.
For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .
The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.
Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.
The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.
Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.
“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.
Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.
However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
