Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a response to a new court filing from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that appeared to show allegedly classified materials scattered on the floor during the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid early in August.

The image appears to show six documents labeled “top secret” and several that were labeled “secret,” which was included at the bottom of a legal brief filed late Tuesday that argued against the appointment of a special master to review the materials first. Federal authorities say those materials were classified, but Trump has repeatedly said he declassified them while in office.
