Rep. Jim Banks Shares Details Of Meeting Trump Day After FBI Raid, Drops 2024 Hint

Published on

Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks met with former President Trump at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster Tuesday evening, and said the former commander-in-chief is “very upbeat,” and has “made up his mind” about 2024—a decision he will make public in “a matter of time.”

The trip was planned several weeks ago but just happened to fall one day after the FBI raided former President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home in Florida.

Banks wasn’t the only Republican to meet with Donald Trump. Nearly a dozen other members of the House Republican Study Committee joined the Chairman, including Reps. Brian Babin, Mike Kelly, Claudia Tenney, Victoria Spartz, Pat Fallon, Mike Carey, Lisa McClain, Michael Cloud, Randy Weber, Troy Nehls, and Erin Houchin, a congressional candidate from Indiana

“It was a great three-hour-long conversation about what House Republicans are doing now to win back the majority and what we are going to do with it when we win,” Banks said.

“He didn’t seem defeated in the least bit—he was very fired up, very upbeat,” Banks told Fox News of Trump’s attitude, just a day after the FBI raided his home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.

The Chairman did admit that they briefly touched on 2024, and Banks said the former President told the group that he “has made up his mind.”

“He said we are going to like his decision and it is only a matter of time before he will make that decision known,” Banks told Fox News, adding that Trump “enjoyed encouragement” from RSC members Tuesday to “get the decision out sooner rather than later.”

“He only helps us win back more seats in November,” Banks said. “The Republican Party is bigger and stronger than ever before because of Donald Trump’s leadership.”

Trump was in New York City while his home in Palm Beach, Florida, was raided, and several reports have now confirmed that FBI agents would not allow Trump lawyers to watch as they raided Trump’s private residence on Monday.

Sources familiar with the raid confirmed the warrant for the raid was related to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) effort to collect records and materials the former president took with him from Washington, D.C., to Mar-a-Lago.
