An FBI photo shows that an article about a Deutsche Bank whistleblower was mixed with classified documents in Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

Donald Trump appeared to keep an article about a dead Deutsche Bank whistleblower among his classified documents, according to newly released FBI photos.

The article was a feature about Val Broeksmit, a rock musician, who leaked details of Deutsche Bank’s files to media and FBI agents investigating the bank’s alleged links to money laundering, the Trump Organization and Russia.

    Seems really more about what pictures the prosecution decided to use to exemplify the mixing of personal and classified than any particular significance to the article. It wasn’t clipped out or anything.

      From the article:

      The article was the cover of the Sunday business feature section. Trump did not cut it out to read it and there is no indication that he was even aware of its existence. It is resting on top of a pile of other newspaper sections, which suggests its placement is coincidental.

        So, the article itself says the thing it’s writing about is irrelevant?

        So why write about it?
