Part 2/12:
In a startling admission, Jack Smith, the leading prosecutor in the classified documents case, publicly acknowledged that the FBI played a direct role in staging key evidence—specifically, secret and top-secret documents. Court filings reveal that the FBI planted cover sheets labeled "Secret" and "Top Secret" onto documents at Mar-a-Lago, intentionally creating a visual narrative to depict Trump as careless with national security secrets.
This manipulation aimed to produce a sensational photograph of documents scattered on the floor, fueling sensational headlines and public outrage. However, Smith’s admission exposes that the evidence presented was not only mishandled but also deliberately fabricated, violating core legal standards like chain of custody protocols.
