Donald Trump continues to employ a spaghetti legal defense as he figuratively throws things against the wall to see if anything will stick, after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago earlier this week.
The Trump Show begins: defense, lies and distraction rampant- all debunked.
The first lie
Trump has tried to claim that the documents in question were declassified. But there is no evidence of that, and legal experts say it is irrelevant under the criminal statues cited in the search warrant application and the FBI revealed classified information was obtained.
The second lie
He has tried to claim the Department of Justice could have had the documents at any time, but the documents were reportedly subpoenaed and were apparently not turned over if the FBI found them at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.
The first planned conspiracy
Without any evidence, Trump suggested the FBI planted evidence, although Trump and his family watched the search on surveillance video.
Fourth lie and playing the classics "but he did it first" excuse
And Trump falsely claimed Obama took classified documents to Chicago, which was debunked by the National Archives and Records Administration.
