As a new filing from his legal team failed to clarify their objections to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search, Donald Trump accused the Justice Department of staging an already infamous photo of classified documents seized at his residence. “There seems to be confusion over the ‘picture’ where documents were sloppily thrown on the floor and then released photographically for the public to see,” he wrote on Truth Social, “as if that’s what the FBI found when they raided my House. Wrong! They took them out of cardboard boxes and spread them around on the carpet, making it look like a big ‘find’ to them.” Justice Department policy means any charges stemming from the raid won’t be announced until after the midterm elections. Meanwhile, Truth Social users were quick to denounce Sarah Palin’s loss to Democratic candidate Mary Peltola in a special election in Alaska as the result of voter fraud.

Asked on Real America’s Voice how the documents found at Mar-a-Lago got there, Donald Trump said he “believed” the material was sent to his residence by the General Services Administration, a government agency. “There was nothing secret about it,” he said. “There shouldn’t have been anything secret about it.

When is today’s hearing on the Mar-a-Lago documents?

Following filings from Trump’s legal team and the Justice Department, a Trump-appointed judge in West Palm Beach will hear today from the former president’s attorneys seeking to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI in August 8. The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. It comes after a disastrous 24 hours for Donald Trump’s lawyers. Their response last night to ridiculing the Justice Department deposition as “harmless” while lawyer Alina Habba confirmed to Fox News that Mr. Trump regularly received guests at the office where some of the documents were found. The former president himself, meanwhile, apparently confirmed in a Truth Social post that the documents he had previously indicated were planted by agents were, in fact, in his possession, albeit in “boxes” and not strewn over the carpet of his office. The department argued in a filing Monday that Trump’s lawyer’s request for a special master “fails for multiple, independent reasons” — including that Trump “does not have standing to seek injunctive relief or oversight of the presidential records because these files don’t belong to him”.
