Mar-a-Lago Raid Surveillance Videos to Be Made Public to Bolster Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign

It seems like former President Donald Trump's team has decided that the Mar-a-Lago surveillance video on the day of the FBI raid will be made public soon.

However, the decision received polarising views from his allies, questioning whether the move would backfire on him legally or it would easily bolster his impending campaign for the presidency in 2024.

Insiders close to Trump are urging him to announce his bid for the White House earlier to avoid a possible indictment on the Espionage Act, which the search warrant alleges he did.

What Does the Mar-a-Lago Raid Surveillance Videos Show?

Currently, it is not determined yet what the highly-anticipated surveillance footages show; but based on Trump's team's messaging, the videotapes seemed to be of great importance to the investigation and his campaign for the presidency.

Eric Trump, the former President's second son, confirmed to Fox News that the Mar-a-Lago surveillance videos will be released at "the right time."

Apparently, Trump wrote on Truth Social that they had continued the recording of the surveillance cameras during the FBI raid, despite the unit's order to stop recording - a thing that he described as "uncommon."

Mar-a-Lago Raid Surveillance Videos: to Be Made Public or Not?

According to CNN, some of Trump's allies are urging him to release the video publicly in an effort to "send a jolt of energy through the Republican Party's base."

Insiders also reported that there were conversations to convert the tapes into campaign-style ads, which could be favorable for him to push forward his claims of a political crackdown. Some are even suggesting that the video would be released before he announces his impending public bid back to the Oval Office in November.

Meanwhile, this was not the overall sentiment of Trump's orbit. The same sources from the media outlet say that they have warned the former President about the possible backfiring of the video release.

"It's one thing to read a bunch of numbers on an inventory list, it's another to see law enforcement agents actually carrying a dozen-plus boxes out of President Trump's home knowing they probably contain sensitive documents," the anonymous source said.

On the other hand, the U.S. Department of Justice had pointed out that they are still conducting their investigation and are leaning toward criminal charges.

Mar-a-Lago Raid Surveillance Videos Could Bolster Trump's Presidential Campaign, Avoid Possible Indictment

With the Mar-a-Lago surveillance videos supposed "importance" to Trump's camp, his allies are pushing him to publicize it for political gain and to strengthen the GOP's forefront for the White House bid.

Trump has yet to announce if he will be running for President in 2024, but sources close to him pointed out that it would be harder for the DOJ to indict someone who is running for office than someone who is out of office.

Should Trump be indicted and possibly charged for the crimes, which are said to be in violation of the Espionage Act, he could face a decade in prison for it.
