Special counsel Jack Smith has publicly acknowledged for the first time that prosecutors and FBI agents altered boxes of evidence obtained from Mar-a-Lago during a search for classified documents.
The admission, made in filings Monday, confirms the reporting of investigative journalist Julie Kelly who previously flagged ominous yellow and red cover sheets were inserted by the FBI into boxes of documents, an insertion that she suggested was made to play up the seizure in publicized photographs. On X, Kelly noted that the FBI had already found “loose classified cover sheets” in a blue leather-bound book in Trump’s office.
Now see if you notice the slight shift here.
FBI agents allegedly found "loose classified cover sheets" in a blue leatherbound box in Trump's office.
Then suddenly–some were attached to classified documents.
Also why are FBI placeholder sheets in classified discovery?? pic.twitter.com/tckEpqz4qG
