On Friday morning, Donald Trump lashed out at special counsel Jack Smith, claiming the Department of Justice prosecutor leaked a report about Mar-a-Lago employees providing evidence of stolen documents seen at their place of work.
As CNN reported, " A plumber, a maid, a chauffeur and a woodworker are among Mar-a-Lago staffers and contract workers who federal prosecutors may call to testify against former President Donald Trump."
That appears to have triggered the former president, who has already had a rough week in the courts after having taken the stand in Manhattan to defend himself and his Trump Organization in a $250 million financial fraud trial.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, he raged, "Fake News CNN just did a story, leaked by Deranged Prosecutor Jack Smith and his massive team of Radical Left Lunatics, that various people saw papers and boxes at Mar-a-Lago."
"Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act. I even supplied, upon request, Security Tapes to these Election Interfering Thugs. Is this really 'Breaking News?' No, it’s 'Breaking Fake News,'" he added.
"But what about all of the papers, boxes, and documents found at NUMEROUS Crooked Joe Biden places, like his garage floor by his cherished Corvette, or CHINATOWN where it was just learned that boxes moved freely in and out. He doesn’t come under the Presidential Records Act because he wasn’t President at the time. Deranged Jack Smith has spent over $100,000,000 investigating me on this phony Russia, Russia, Russia, type Scam. How much $’s have they spent investigating Crooked Joe on his much bigger boxes deal?" he concluded.
