Washington (CNN)Former President Donald Trump and his representatives have offered up a dizzying flurry of defenses in the wake of the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago resort and residence in early August -- and some of their claims are false, uncorroborated or sharply disputed.
Here is a look at the facts, as we know them today, around five of the public arguments Trump and his team have made in the wake of the search.
The Justice Department said in a court filing this week that the search of Mar-a-Lago resulted in the seizure of more than 100 unique documents with classification markings. But in posts on his social media platform, Trump has argued that he had declassified all of the documents in his possession.
"Number one, it was all declassified," he wrote in a post on August 12. "Lucky I Declassified!" he wrote in a post this Wednesday.
Trump's comments about this supposed declassification have been very vague. But conservative writer John Solomon, one of the people Trump named as a representative in his dealings with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), was more specific in a Fox appearance on August 12. Solomon read a statement, which he said was from Trump's office, claiming that Trump "had a standing order...that documents removed from the Oval Office and taken to the residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them."
