As I reported last month, the FBI brought colored classified cover sheets to the raid under the guise of using them to substitute classified documents found within Trump’s boxes.
Instead, FBi agents attached the scary looking sheets to various files and took photos.
In DOJ’s opposition to Trump’s special master lawsuit in 2022, Jay Bratt attached infamous photo as a prop so the media would publish it and claim the papers were found with classified cover sheets.
If you remember this, the FBI used glossy cover sheets for photographs of the government’s unusual raid on former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago estate.
On Tuesday, writer Julie Kelly, who has been all over this story, published court records on X, revealing that Special Counsel Jack Smith “admitted the FBI added cover sheets to alleged classified documents found at MAL and took photos for evidence.” Tampering with evidence this way is illegal. Joe Biden’s FBI did this to make Americans believe Trump knew the documents were classified and therefore he was guilty.
“This confirms my report from last month that the FBI doctored evidence to produce stunt photos of classified documents at [Mar-a-Lago],” Kelly told reporters.

In May, District Court Judge Aileen Cannon ordered that the criminal classified materials case against the former president be postponed indefinitely to allow for an impartial evaluation of the documents that prosecutors tampered with. Prosecutors acknowledged to mishandling the evidence, resulting in the judge’s requested delay, which now threatens Smith’s team’s ability to go to trial before the November election.
According to Kelly on Tuesday, the FBI’s colored cover sheets were included in “classified discovery,” implying that prosecutors wanted to keep the details of the additional papers hidden from the public.
“The FBI brought colored classified cover sheets to the raid under the guise of using them to substitute classified documents found within Trump’s boxes,” Kelly told X. “Instead, FBI agents attached the scary looking sheets to various files and took photos.”
The photographs disclosed by prosecutors became indicative of the former president’s obvious recklessness, as evidenced by the raid. The documents served as cover photographs for sensational stories in TMZ, ABC News, Newsweek, Business Insider, Fortune, The Guardian, the Independent, USA Today, and Rolling Stone.
Several weeks after federal stormtroopers searched Trump’s private estate, the New York Times published an apparent explanation titled “How the Picture of Top Secret Folders at Mar-a-Lago Came About.”
“On Wednesday, Mr. Trump took to his social media site to say that ‘the F.B.I., during the raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending that it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see,'” stated the New York Times. “But the genesis of the photograph appears to be in keeping with standard protocols for how federal agents handle evidence they come across in a search.”
However, the image of top-secret classified documents was fake news.
The paper’s reporting is consistent with the defense coverage that federal prosecutors have learned to expect from favorable media outlets. More court documents show that the FBI had permission to use “deadly force” against the former president during the search of Mar-a-Lago. Trump is now being charged with 40 counts of mishandling classified papers from Smith’s investigation.
President Joe Biden, on the other hand, evaded felony charges for mishandling confidential data in February after Special Counsel Robert Hur determined that the incumbent was too senile to stand trial.
“Biden would likely present himself to the jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” according to Hur’s account. “It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
Hur’s team declined to bring charges, despite the fact that the Biden case had many troves of documents located in various locations, including the president’s “garage, offices, and basement den.”
In his interview with Hur’s inquiry, Biden mixed current events with the Iraq War, forgot when he was vice president, and couldn’t recollect accurate details about his son’s 2015 death from brain cancer.
“And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him,” according to the Hur transcript.
