Trump Accidentally Admits Docs Weren’t “Planted”

Mediaite reports:

Former President Donald Trump posted a statement on Truth Social Wednesday that appeared to acknowledge the documents recovered by the FBI at his Florida estate were in fact in his possession and not “planted” as he had previously declared.

“Trump has moved off suggesting things were planted and now says documents were “in cartons” at his house/club…which he says even though his lawyer signed a document asserting all material was in the storage area and went back, per DOJ,” responded New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman to the post.

Trump’s admission that the classified material was “in cartons” at his residence is evidence of his guilt.

It would be like a defendant taking issue with a FBI photo showing bricks of cocaine on the floor of his residence instead of “in cartons.” It admits possession. https://t.co/Sx9E6dCGPA

Never forget: Trump’s defense is that he declassified documents that were planted. Lol.
