Photos show handwritten notes that Trump apparently ripped up and attempted to flush down toilet

Newly revealed photographs reveal two occasions on which former President Donald Trump apparently flushed documents down the toilet.

Maggie Haberman...is publishing the new images in her forthcoming book, "Confidence Man," and the images were earlier posted by Axios. CNN has previously reported how Trump flouted presidential record-keeping laws and would often tear up documents, drafts and memos after reading them.

He periodically flushed papers down the toilet in the White House residence -- only to be discovered later on when repairmen were summoned to fix the clogged toilets. Trump has denied the allegations, and in a statement given to Axios on Monday, a spokesman claimed that reporting about the practice was fabricated. This picture shows notes that former President Donald Trump apparently ripped up and attempted to flush down the toilet.

In the images revealed on Monday, it's unclear what the documents are in reference to -- and who authored them -- but they appear to be written in Trump's handwriting in black marker. Haberman said one image is from a White House toilet and the other one is from an overseas trip that was provided to her by a Trump White House source. "Who knows what this paper was? Only he would know and presumably whoever was dealing with it, but the important point is about the records," Haberman told CNN's John Berman and Brianna Keilar on "New Day" Monday morning. Trump had a pattern of disregarding normal record preservation procedures. In one occasion, Trump asked if anyone wanted to put a copy of a speech he just delivered up for auction on eBay, during a mid-flight visit to the press cabin Air Force One.

Breaking: the authorities discover that Trump and his gang of insurrectionists flushed illegal gifts, such as sofas, automobiles, airplanes, suitcases of diamonds, exotic pets, and various stolen street signs etc down the toilet drains to destroy the evidence. Not only that, but authorities also discoversd that the gang of seditionists also flushed a whole warehouse full of my pillows down the toilet so that the left couldn’t get ahold of them and get great night’s sleep.

Liz Cheney said to be giddy with excitement over the prospect of bringing further criminal charges agaisnt mr putin collusionist Donald Trump. So giddy infact that she is said to be overcome with emotion and too overwhelmed to respond to reporters who asked how anyone could possibly flush items as large as wrap around couches down a toilet. She did however manage to write out a brief statement claiming that this is the best evidence that she has seen to date of criminal activity, and fully intends to pursue it until she is elected president some time InThe distant future, even if she is no longer a republican party member, or a member of congress for that matter.

Complete nonsense. And, interesting timing that this fabricated release was yesterday, right before the KGB raid. Seriously, who would do this? A normal person burns important documents if they don’t trust shredders. No-one would flush them in a toilet.

“In the images revealed on Monday, it’s unclear what the documents are in reference to — and who authored them —”

So they could be pictures of Daffy Duck. Or a recipe for steamed broccoli with walnuts.

This is a joke, a sad joke. Maggie Haberman is a joke. The NY Slimes is a joke.
