Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley wrote that a newly disclosed FBI photo taken at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago could leave a “misleading impression.”

The image appears to show six documents labeled “top secret” and others dubbed “secret,” apparently captured inside Trump’s Florida residence during the FBI raid in early August. It was included toward the bottom of a government filing in response to Trump’s motion seeking a special master, or a neutral third party, to review the materials before the Department of Justice (DOJ).
