Twitter was filled with jokes reacting to the revelations.

“Who among us has not stored critical papers in our shower cubicles, and of course the shower has a crystal chandelier!” cracked Adele Abrams.

Another wrote, “It’s like an episode of Storage Wars where Trump sells the blind contents of the bathroom to the highest bidder.”

“They’re extra safe behind the curtain,” said another.

“Plumber tip, if something leaks in the bathroom, it can’t be classified documents,” another user joked.

Trump accused the FBI on Friday of staging photos showing the boxes of classified documents illegally stored at his Florida estate.

Trump said the photos were suspicious, writing on Truth Social, “Strange! Everything about the boxes was so neat, organized and clean.’

“Did the FBI knock over that one box like they ‘staged’ the papers on the floor during the Mar-a-Lago raid, only to apologize after they got caught?”

The 76-year-old said Thursday he was told he was being charged with espionage — the first time in US history a former president has faced federal charges.

Trump faces four separate charges each carrying a potential 20-year prison sentence: conspiracy to obstruct justice; withholding any document or record; corruptly concealing any document or record; and hiding a document in a federal investigation.

One count carries a 10-year prison sentence: deliberately withholding national defense information.

And the last two counts each have a maximum of five years: plan to conceal and misrepresentations and misrepresentations. Trump’s indictment remains classified, but his decision to make it public means the FBI could open it as early as Friday, ahead of next Tuesday’s Miami court hearing.

The news drew outrage from the Republican party, with even his 2024 rival Ron DeSantis declaring that “the arming of federal law enforcement poses a deadly threat to a free society.” DeSantis declined to say whether he would pardon his rival if Trump were convicted, despite calls for Florida’s governor to commit.

Trump himself — who was in Bedminster, New Jersey when the news broke — denounced the charges in a clip The New York Times said was pre-recorded, saying it was political persecution, saying: “I am innocent.’

He will appear in court in Miami on Tuesday at 3 p.m. where charges against him will be filed. Trump denies all the allegations he faces.

Jack Smith, the special counsel overseeing the investigation, has not commented.

He was indicted in Manhattan in April on charges of making hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels – those allegations, too, were historic.

But the classified information charges are federal and significantly more serious, carrying hefty prison sentences.

Prosecutors have been investigating the transfer of presidential files to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida since last year.

The investigation made headlines in August when the FBI searched Trump’s Florida home and recovered 11,000 documents, including about 100 classified as classified.

For his part, Trump has repeatedly maintained that he has done nothing wrong and that he is the victim of a federal witch hunt.

At times, the controversy has even boosted his standing in the polls and allowed him to raise money from supporters who see a “deep state” plot to take him out of the 2024 race.

“The corrupt Biden administration has informed my lawyers that I have been charged, apparently because of the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1,850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., and more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents scattered across his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, which is “secured” only by a garage door that is paper thin and open much of the time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday night.

“I have been subpoenaed to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday. I never imagined that something like this could happen to a former president of the United States, who has received far more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country, and currently leads the vast majority of candidates, both Democrat and the president. Republican, in 2024 presidential election polls. I’M AN INNOCENT MAN!’

He released a video later on Thursday night.

“Unfortunately we are a nation in decline and yet they are chasing after a very popular president,” Trump said.

“I’m an innocent man, I’ve done nothing wrong,” he continued, promising to “fight this out.”

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump also said he would “of course” plead not guilty.

Security around the Miami courthouse is already being heightened ahead of his appearance before a judge, scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday.

The investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents is overseen by a special counsel, Jack Smith, who was appointed in November by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
