Trump accuses FBI of 'staging' classified document photograph at Mar-a-Lago

Former President Donald Trump claimed that the image of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago resort, released on Tuesday by the Justice Department, was staged by federal officials.

The image displays the cover pages of multiple classified documents, and some of them were outlined with yellow borders and labeled "top secret." The documents were scattered out on a carpet at the Mar-a-Lago resort, which the former president claimed he had not done.

"Terrible the way the FBI, during the raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Thought they wanted them kept Secret? Lucky I Declassified!"
