Trump appears to be undermining his own assertion that the FBI planted documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 24 23
- In his Truth Social post, Trump appeared to admit that the evidence in the Mar-a-Lago raid was not planted by the FBI.
- In his Wednesday post, Trump claimed that the FBI purposefully arranged highly sensitive documents on the floor of a Mar-a-Lago room to make him appear bad.
- "Trump's argument has gone from 'The FBI planted evidence against me!" to "They took the evidence out of my cartons — and spread it on my carpet!"
- Trump's and the Justice Department's attorneys are due to appear in federal court in Florida on Thursday at 1 p.m.
