Trump's Legal Team Accuses Prosecutors of Evidence Mismanagement in Classified Documents Case
New photos from the FBI's August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago were released, showing how Trump stored personal memorabilia and documents marked classified together in boxes. Photos taken in December 2021 by a Trump aide show some boxes in a storage room had fallen over, spilling their contents on the floor. Trump claimed that FBI agents did not preserve the original order of documents nor photograph their arrangement during a search warrant execution. The special counsel acknowledged some disorganization of documents after an FBI search but dismissed its impact on the case. Trump's lawyers claimed it violated due process and accused prosecutors of hiding this to strengthen their accusations.
