“Mr. Solomon’s presentation, both times, also omitted key context: The field office’s legal doubts came before Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage emerged that showed a Trump aide moving boxes from a storage area before a lawyer came to search it for subpoenaed classified files. The additional evidence resolved legal concerns about probable cause.” How the White House Manufactured a Narrative About a Trump Aide’s Call Logs nytimes.com/2026/10/11/us/po… via @charlie_savage

Replying to @brianstelter
The AP said in a statement, “In solidarity with news organizations who have had their access to the White House restricted, AP joined a group of news outlets in not publishing photographs of today's presidential events. No news organization — or person — should be retaliated against by the government over the words they use.”
