The DOJ was reportedly set to host an Iranian-backed Iraqi judge who had previously issued a warrant for former President Trump’s arrest before backtracking concerning the meeting.
The confab was reportedly set to take place this month. The warrant was issued against Trump because he ordered the assassination of global terrorist Iranian Qassem Soleimani who was responsible for the killing of over 600 American military personnel.
Fox News Digital reported that a source with first-hand knowledge of pro-Iran regime jurist Faiq Zidan’s travel itinerary claims he was scheduled for a sit-down with the Biden Justice Department.
After Fox News Digital communicated with the DOJ, the agency mysteriously decided to withdraw its invitation to Zidan.
“Zidan will not be meeting with any DOJ officials,” a source told Fox News on Thursday.
“The Supreme Judicial Council President Faiq Zidan is going to be hosted by the Department of Justice so we defer to the DoJ to discuss their meetings. We engage with a wide range of counterparts in Iraq and we value engaging the Iraqi judiciary. The DOJ meets regularly with foreign judicial leaders,” a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
The fact that the judge was meeting with the DOJ was evidently well-known.
“According to a separate source familiar with Zidan’s invitation to the DOJ, the judge told many U.S. officials the DOJ invited him to Washington, D.C. The appearance of working at cross-purposes between the State Department and DOJ suggests there may have been tension over the invitation to Zidan due to his pro-Iranian regime rhetoric and conduct,” Fox News reported.
