Former President Donald Trump claimed that the image of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago resort, released on Tuesday by the Justice Department, was staged by federal officials.

The image displays the cover pages of multiple classified documents, and some of them were outlined with yellow borders and labeled "top secret." The documents were scattered out on a carpet at the Mar-a-Lago resort, which the former president claimed he had not done.
