Former President Trump early Friday dismissed CNN reporting that employees at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida may be called upon by federal prosecutors to testify in the upcoming criminal trial about classified documents.
“Fake News CNN just did a story, leaked by Deranged Prosecutor Jack Smith and his massive team of Radical Left Lunatics, that various people saw papers and boxes at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. “Of course they did!”
“They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” he added.
CNN reported that a plumber, a maid, a chauffeur and a woodworker are among the workers who may be called to testify in the case against Trump over the former president’s alleged mishandling of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
Unidentified sources told the network that witnesses may include members of Trump’s inner circle during his time in business and politics, Secret Service agents, former intelligence officials and the “workers rarely noticed” by the resort’s wealthy guests.
