A government document mysteriously appeared last week in the federal case regarding the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home but there were indications that it was fake.
The document purported to be from the US Treasury Department, claiming that the agency had taken possession of some documents related to the Mar-a-Lago raid. The document also included a warrant ordering CNN to preserve “leaked tax records.”
The document appeared on the court’s docket late Monday afternoon and was labeled “MOTION to Intervene by U.S. Department of the Treasury.” It remained on the docket until the following Thursday before being caught as a fake. An AP review of dozens of court records and multiple interviews “suggest the document originated with a serial forger behind bars at a federal prison complex in North Carolina.”

The incident, and the length of time it took to recognize it, implies that the court clerk was tricked into believing it was real. This calls the vulnerability of the U.S. court systems overall and the integrity of the Mar-a-Lago case in particular, which hinges almost entirely on documents.
The revelation already has some on Twitter accusing Trump of orchestrating the creation of fake evidence to be used against him.

Others speculate alternative origins of the document.
What about this FAKE document found in the papers taken from Mar a Lago? A riveting document that would hurt Trump it was forged. Now people understand why search warrants have to be specific. Already it seems things are being planted Anyone know more?

@thedemocrats weaponized the federal government against #Trump beginning in 2016. Hillary's fake dossier, Russia! Russia! Russia!, spying, the Ukraine call, Election 2020, #January6th, Mar-a-Lago.
It's the Democrats who've carried out a coup and war against America.

And that's bad considering it's real… and nothing has been done about it. Fbi had social media's like Twitter suppress it etc… they keep trying to come up with charges against Trump and nothings worked yet. Even tried to put fake documents at the Mar a Lago trial 😅🤣🤣🤣

Look, Ma-some docs subject of Mar a Lago raid aren't just fakes, but obvious ones that a 3rd-grader would spot but fooled a fed ct clerk. Tell me again why we're supposed to trust federal "institutions"?

Either way, this incident has thrown the accuracy of the court, and its eventual decision, into question.
