Donald Trump appeared to keep an article about a dead Deutsche Bank whistleblower among his classified documents, according to newly released FBI photos.
The photo was included in special counsel Jack Smith's rebuttal of Trump's claim that the FBI mishandled boxes of documents found at his Florida home.
Trump is facing 40 federal charges in Cannon's court over his alleged handling of sensitive materials seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, after leaving the White House in January 2021.
In February Judge Engoron, who sits on the New York State Supreme Court, imposed a fine of $454 million, including interest, on Trump after concluding he engaged in civil fraud by falsely inflating the value of his assets when securing bank loans.
Smith's explanation in court documents of the randomness of Trump's boxes of personal possessions didn't stop the speculation on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Tuesday, journalist Sandi Bachom wrote on X: "WHY would Trump have an article about Val Broeksmit in his secret file folders and why would Jack Smith release it last night?"
