Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that he took folders of classified documents as “a cool keepsake” and accused “Trump-hating” federal authorities of planting top secret documents at his home to frame him, the US media reported.
Trump sought to downplay the scandal surrounding the hundreds of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home by turning the focus on the several empty folders found by FBI agents in an explosive search on August 8.These were ordinary, inexpensive folders with various words printed on them, but they were a cool keepsake,” Trump said in a post on his social media site. “Perhaps the Gestapo took some of these empty folders when they Raided Mar-a-Lago, and counted them as a document, which they are not.”
