    I think the link is to the wrong update. If you scroll down there is another article stating he’s going to say the boxes were planted.

      Yep, here’s the relevant update:

      Trump now claims classified documents were ‘planted’ in Mar-a-Lago boxes in wild arraignment morning rant Former president Donald Trump has now claimed that the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago were “planted” in the boxes after they were obtained by the Department of Justice.

      In a Truth Social rant, Mr Trump lashed out at Special Counsel Jack Smith on the morning of the former president’s arraignment at a Miami federal courthouse.

      “This is the Thug, overturned consistently and unanimously in big cases, that Biden and his CORRUPT Injustice Department stuck on me. He’s a Radical Right Lunatic and Trump Hater, as are all his friends and family, who probably ‘planted’ information in the ‘boxes’ given to them. They taint everything that they touch, including our Country, which is rapidly going to HELL!” Mr Trump wrote on Tuesday morning.

          That confused me too. Is Trump trying to pretend he’s a progessive now? “You can’t arrest ‘MAGA Trump’ because I’m ‘Progressive Trump’ now. I’m a totally different person!”
