It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

The exact circumstances around the search—such as why CBP wanted to search the phone in the first place—are not known. But it is uncommon to see someone charged specifically for wiping a phone, a feature that is easily accessible in some privacy and security-focused devices.
