[ToddStarnes.com] Newly declassified records reveal the Biden-era FBI tracked the movements of Melania and Barron Trump as agents prepared to raid President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, sparking fresh accusations that federal law enforcement was weaponized against the Trump family.

The documents, released by the White House Monday, detail an investigation code-named "Plasmic Echo," which was later taken over by former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Agents monitored the travel of then-former first lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump while determining when to execute the August 2022 search of Trump's Palm Beach home, Fox News reported.

The records also show investigators obtained call-detail information involving Susie Wiles, who was working in Trump's political orbit and is now White House chief of staff. The surveillance captured information including phone numbers, times and duration of calls—not the contents of conversations.

"Jack Smith's surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple."

"Those responsible must be held accountable," Bis added.

The revelations triggered outrage among conservatives online.

Conservative commentator Eric Daugherty wrote on X, "The Biden FBI TRACKED BARRON," before declaring: "THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST DOJ SCANDALS EVER." He also demanded that Smith be jailed.

The revelations are particularly explosive because Barron Trump was not a political official or campaign employee when the FBI was tracking the family's travel.

Smith has repeatedly rejected allegations that his prosecutions were politically motivated. During recent Senate testimony, he declared, "I have no partisan loyalty," and said his decisions were made "without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy."

The classified-documents case against Trump was ultimately dismissed in 2024 after a federal judge ruled Smith's appointment as special counsel was unlawful.

The newly released records are certain to intensify Republican demands for a full accounting of the Biden Justice Department's conduct toward Trump, his family and his political allies. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
