Photos Reveal Documents Trump Flushed Down Toilet at the White House

Photos of documents that former President Donald Trump flushed down a toilet at the White House have been released.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman shared the photos with Axios and posted them to Twitter.

“Trump denied flushing documents as president, as I learned during reporting last year for CONFIDENCE MAN. A Trump White House source recently provided PHOTOS of paper with Trump’s handwriting in two different toilets,” Haberman tweeted.

She added, “On the left is a White House toilet, the word ‘qualified’ and a capital I visible. On the left, a toilet from a Trump trip overseas.

”In another tweet, Haberman noted that “under the presidential records act, documents generated by and sent to presidents are to be preserved by the office.”

She continued, “Trump’s habit of ripping paper that had to be taped back up was known; his habit of discarding them was not.”

Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich issued a statement to Axios responding to the report.

 “You have to be pretty desperate to sell books if pictures of paper in a toilet bowl is part of your promotional plan,” Budowich said.

The statement continued, “We know … there’s enough people willing to fabricate stories like this in order to impress the media class — a media class who is willing to run with anything, as long as it anti-Trump.”

Earlier this year, Axios reported on excerpts from Haberman’s book detailing the incidents where papers were found clogging a toilet in the White House.

I have no idea if the author is being serious or not.

“I have no idea if the author is being serious or not.”

Either way, it’s worthy of laughter.

Why would anyone believe a damn thing from these anti-American bastards (Demonrats, half the Republicans, MSM)?

This is ridiculous. Haberman is the go-to propagandist for the left. Prove the toilet is where she says it is. Prove it's Trump's handwriting and finally, who runs around behind the President taking photos of the toilet he just used? This is desperation.

Doubt anything flushed would still be there. Now I can see some very recent Biden documents stuck in the line.

Besides Trump is WAY smarter than that, he would find another means of disposal. One does not stay in business by flushing sensitive documents.

Please bring the photos here, as I refuse to agree to any site that requires me to agree to anything, before I can access the site.

I doubt Trump is the type to flush documents in the toilet. If he were to rid himself of papers like that he seems to be a more of a dump them in the fireplace and burn them type dude.

Trump is too cleanly to believe nonsense like this.

Same nonsense as him grabbing the Beast steering wheel.

Nuts.

Why would Trump have to do this? He probably had a world class shredder.

I found this on another site. Is it the same?

This picture shows notes that former President Donald Trump apparently ripped up and attempted to flush down the toilet.

Just when you think they can’t go any lower... they go lower. Doesn’t seem at all like anything Trump would do. Biden, on the other hand...

Weirdo reporters have been SCUBA diving in the White House septic tank again look for Trump stuff. These “papers” have been in the toilet over a year and a half? This far left “media” crap is quite a stretch.

President Trump could just stuff papers in a suit and dispose (burn) of them at Mar-A-Lago. No reason to back up a toilet.

The person who took the photo staged it. How juvenile.

"New York Times reporter Maggie Haberma..."

This obviously didn't even pass the smell test with her own editors, but she hates Trump enough that she found a way to spread this manure anyway.
