Welcome to the Daily Beans for Wednesday, August 17, 2022. Today, the two Pats, Cipollonean Filbon, were interviewed by the Department of Justice in the Trump Espionage investigation.

Reps, Maloney and Thompson send another letter to the DHS Inspector General Cufari who is now Stonewalling Congressional Oversight, Biden signs the Build Back Better Plan into law, and the Department of Justice drops another filing on the Navarro Docket.

I'm Allison Gill, and I'm Dana Goldberg. Hey, Dana, how's it going today? I am good, A.G. How are you? I fell down and hit my head this morning. I don't know if I'm ever supposed to bring these things up when we get...

I always pretend like I don't know, because I'm trying when you're like, how are you? And I'm like, fine, how are you going to tell the listeners about the bruise on your head?

Yeah, it's pretty big. She's not. I've got a black eye. I hit my head so hard. Please, just so you and listeners know, I have immediately told her to go to the doctor, and she's not to fall asleep tonight without medical attention.

So by the time you hear this, know that she's taken all precautions because I have yelled at her stormy.

Yes, and I was already planning on going to the doctor as soon as we're done here with the news. So anyway, I just wanted to bring that up in case, you know, maybe like the first time I read the intro, I called it Wednesday, August 19th. So I might have some news reading issues today.

So I just want to kind of let everybody know.

I mean, and Campy is bad as me trying to pronounce rural.

Yeah, rural juror. Okay. All right. So of course, we're going to have the good news at the end of the show. If you have any good news, you want to send to us, you can do that at dailybeanspod.com.

And just click on contact. Let's hit the hot notes hot notes.

You just jumped right into it.

Absolutely zero segues today. No, you're like, and we're going to do that. Let's hit hot notes. Okay. We moved on to the hot notes.

So first up, Patsy Baloney and Patrick Filben, the White House Council and deputy under President Trump were interviewed by the FBI in connection with the boxes of sensitive documents that were stored at Mar-a-Lago.

Mr. Cipalone and Mr. Filben are the most senior people who worked for Trump who are known to have been interviewed by investigators after the archives referred the matter to the Justice Department this year.

The interviews are a sign of the intensity of the investigation into how sensitive government material left the White House with Donald and remained at his Palm Beach Florida residents for more than a year.

Filben was interviewed in the spring, according to two of the people familiar with the matter as investigators reached out to members of Trump's circle to find out how 15 boxes and materials, some of it classified made its way to Mar-a-Lago.

So it was clear when Cipalone was interviewed, this all happened this past spring and we were just now hearing about it. That is how tight-lipped and leak proof this Department of Justice is.

Oh, yeah. Now, Mr. Cipalone and Mr. Filben were two of Mr. Trump's representatives to deal with the National Archives. They were named to the position shortly before the president's term ended.
