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.

If they were hand written, they don’t amount to squat!!
Ridiculous. All of Trumps toilets are solid gold and the TP is coated with crushed diamonds. This is as legit as those photos of the gas station toiled.
The White House has shredders and burn bags.
I predict the FBI (kgb) will fabricate evidence and say it was found in the raid.
I unclog drains for a living. It’s never pretty. I have NEVER cleared something that clean from a plugged-up john.
Plus, though it’s not my line of work, that’s some impressive ink and paper for sitting in even clean water a few hours. Yes, I’m suggesting cnn has been had...again.
Maybe it was Nancy who actually did it. She’s pretty good at tearing up documents.
Is this another Hillary “hoax”?..not a crime.
just punking Pres. Trump?
Later we will all have a good laugh...
Especially all time and tax payer money that was wasted.
So funny. Thanks for the chuckle. (I do have a problem with him flushing pets, exotic or otherwise.)
SOMEONE DOWNLOAD THE IMAGES AND SAVE THEM.
THE META-DATA in the image will show when they were taken and from what camera.
“it was one of those small portable toilets in the car for emergencies”
That’s really gross. At least Joe is classy enough that he opts for diapers.
It’s CNN, it must e true.
thought crimes?
Saw that yesterday. It is a joke and certainly not a Trump MO.
Was someone watching the john to know it was DJT?
How stupid do you have to be to know that sort of paper does not flush well?
Was the image from some one’s version of Photoshop?
No he didn’t. He couldn’t do it while grabbing the wheel of the car and choking a SS agent.
Well, they could be “Chia-pets” we don’t know yet lol
They produce fake things like this and immediately report it as fact, on every tv station and print ragblog. But every Hunter Biden picture was dismissed as false and Russian disinformation and never exposed on the msm.
Don’t they have shredders?
Bull S^^t!
