Former Republican President Donald Trump's White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders appeared on Fox News' Hannity show and falsley proclaimed Hillary Clinton–among others–was never investigated by the FBI.
Sanders, who is currently a gubernatorial candidate for Arkansas, made the statement in light of the Federal Bureau of Investigations executing a search warrant at Mar-A-Lago–Trump's Palm Beach, Florida home–on Monday.
Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Sanders said:
"The DOJ and the FBI are supposed to be above politics but if you look at targeted actions against the President and the people around him."
"You have people like Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and the leaker of the Dobbs decision walking away with no investigations."
\u201cSanders: The DOJ and the FBI are supposed to be above politics but if you look at targeted actions against the President and the people around him\u2026 you have people like Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and the leaker of the Dobbs decision walking away with no investigations\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
Many Republicans castigated Clinton for using a private email server for official public communications instead of using official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers during her tenure as US Secretary of State.
Weeks before the 2016 Presidential election, federal agents obtained a warrant to review 650,000 of Clinton's emails discovered on a laptop used by her top aide, Huma Abedin–and belonging to her estranged husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
Although FBI Director James Comey announced the FBI probe into her emails concluded the then-Democratic Presidential candidate was "extremely careless," no charges were filed since it was determined she acted with "no criminal intent."
Twitter users noted the hypocrisy in Sanders' heated statement and quickly reminded her of the facts pertaining to Clinton's email probe, the federal investigation looking into Hunter Biden's business dealings, and the search for the culprit who leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
\u201c@Acyn Hunter has been under investigation for quite some time! Hillary was subjected to a long investigation that upended her campaign. The Dobbs leak? That's been under investigation by Roberts aided by the FBI since day 1. What a (I can't say it or my account will get suspended)!\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn Hillary was investigated and Comey\u2019s comments re: his alleged findings greatly affected the election. Hunter is not a civil servant and pray tell who is the leaker of the Dobbs decision. You are grasping at straws to pretend that Trump is being treated unfairly. He is not.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn DOJ & FBI ARE above politics. They aren\u2019t investigating Trump bc he was a Republican president. They\u2019re investigating him bc he\u2019s a criminal.\nThey executed a search warrant at his home bc he took confidential documents from the WH which Hillary and Hunter did not.\n#DemVoice1\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn What? Hillary Clinton was investigated to within an inch of her life, Hunter Biden is definitely under investigation and the leaker snuck away in the night because John Roberts figured out the leaker of Dobbs was a Roe opponent inside the SC who wanted to lock in the decision.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn Hillary Clinton sat through 11 hrs of Benghazi investigation never pleading the 5th, snd Kevin McCarthy recently admitted that investigation was manufactured to ensure her chances to win the presidency were diminished. Hunter Biden is currently under investigation. Sarah lies.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn This Hilary talking point is particularly obnoxious given that the FBI investigation into her handling of documents/communications was a freaking turning point in the election that brought Trump to the White House.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn Weird that there\u2019s a 47-page summary of an FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton when Sanders here says there was no investigation. \n\nhttps://t.co/AKEJyzJDbF\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn Sarah Huckelberry Sanders still burning facts and then using that ash to create a perfect smokey eye.\n\nSome things never change.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
Sanders' tweet from 2016 referencing the investigation looking into Clinton's emails also came back to haunt her.
She had tweeted:
"When you're attacking FBI agents because you're under criminal investigation, you're losing."
The irony in her past tweet holding relevance today as Republicans are slamming the raid at Mar-A-Lago was not lost on Twitter.
\u201c@bettygirl1239 @Acyn She tweeted this when the FBI opened the investigation in to HRC\u2019s emails.\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@Acyn this you @SarahHuckabee ?\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
\u201c@rhonda_harbison @Acyn @SarahHuckabee She is a disgrace. This display by someone running to be a Governor is frankly just plain gross. We're talking about national security of our nation and she's talking about Hunter Biden who has never held public office of any kind. Indefensible and disgraceful.\n\n@JonesForAR\u201d— Acyn (@Acyn) 1660268620
According to the Washington Post, the FBI had been looking for “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons” as part of its search at Mar-A-Lago.
Trump was not home at the time of the search.
The former Republican President sent an email to supporters, lamenting that his "beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents," declaring it "prosecutorial misconduct."
It remains unclear whether any documents relating to nuclear weapons were uncovered or whether they pertained to US weapons or those of another country.
