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.

I produce a document each day that I flush down the toilet that Maggie might be interested in!
That was my first question (post #9).
Fake but Accurate
...and then Trump angrily flushed the toilet.
Maggie Haberman...is publishing the new images in her forthcoming **book**.
A few fake photos here and there may help sales.
Nobody is that stupid to toss info down the toilet as many fire places in the WH.
Is there anything too absurd for the corporate media to print?
Military grade shredders, like the ones used at the White House, collect shredded material into a caustic reservoir where the paper is dissolved into a pulp. I am confident Trump had no suspicious concerning the shredders.
What a crock.
Who the hell doesn’t know NOT TO FLUSH ANYTHING BUT TOILET PAPER DOWN A TOILET.
No one. That’s who.
Sorry, I missed that post. You’re spot on.
Only morons could contrive such a story for other morons to believe. Abuse and ridicule anyone you run into thinking this document flushing story is based in any fact. Do it quickly though. It is only a distraction. We need to be watching what the other hand is doing.
“ just can’t fathom why the remaining Democrats identify themselves with a party this embarrassingly juvenile.”
You mean the same people who were totally convinced Trump hired Russian hookers to pee on a bed that Obama had slept in? Those democrats?
It says, “Don’t forget to order the lobster”.
Thanks-
Imagine someone who has spent his entire adult life running hotels and residences and dealing - at various levels - with the problem of people flushing inappropriate things down toilets.
If ANYONE would know that you don’t get rid of a document by flushing it down a toilet, it would be Trump.
Folks, think about it. What is in virtually every office, flying ones as well? A paper / document shredder. Why tear up a document and “flush it down the toilet”, when all he has to do is reach over and slide it into a shredder? Especially if it’s a classified document. Gov’t shredders don’t leave you with strips of paper, they leave you with confetti about 1/4”x1/8” (.25”x.125”) in size.
I think the photographer provided the document, not the president. President Trump is no dummy, and he’s tech savvy!
Most people don’t flush papers down a toilet except for paper that is made for the toilet.
Maggie likes sniffing presidential poop, like Joey Diapers likes sniffing the hair of little girls. They make a good couple. A couple of lowlife degenerates.
