Washington, June 20 (RHC)-- The Washington Post is reporting the Justice Department and the FBI waited more than a year before opening a probe into the role played by former President Donald Trump and his top associates in the January 6 insurrection and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 

According to the Post, a top deputy to FBI Director Christopher Wray quashed a plan early on to directly investigate Trump. 

Attorney General Merrick Garland supported the FBI’s decision to focus on individuals who raided the Capitol instead of Trump and his associates.

In other Trump News, The Donald appeared on Fox News and talked about being arraigned on federal felony charges for mishandling classified documents. During the interview, Trump appeared to admit that he did not comply with requests to return classified documents.  

Trump was interviewed by Fox’s Bret Baier, who asked why he didn't just hand over the boxes.   Trump replied that he wanted to go through them "and get all personal things out."
