No he didn't. That's a distortion by MAGAs. He never said he tampered with the evidence.

Real Clear Politics is using a different article there, that was not quite a clever way of hiding your actual citation.

So the problem with using these mixed accuracy sites is that they sensationalize headlines, like distorting facts and trying to cast the fact that some documents got mixed up as "tampering" in a dishonest attempt to try to paint the picture as the prosecution having purposefully manipulated evidence to conceal facts. But that's not what happened. Let's look at the story through a high accuracy site.


Special counsel Jack Smith’s team acknowledged Friday that some evidence in the prosecution of former President Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents at his Florida home may not be in the same sequence FBI agents found it when they swept into the Mar-a-Lago compound with a search warrant in August 2022.
...
“There are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans,” prosecutors wrote, adding in a footnote: “The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court.”

Prosecutors claim the discrepancies in the sequence of the records is of no significance to the criminal case filed in June 2023. Smith’s lawyers say the apparent jumble took place despite various precautions, including having an FBI agent present while an outside vendor scanned the documents so that Trump’s attorneys could see what was seized. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately halted the review Cannon ordered.

Prosecutors also said the act of moving the boxes might have caused the apparent shifts because of “the size and shape of certain items,” but they did not say if that could account for all the instances where documents appear to be out of the original order.

“For example, the boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary [sic], which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full,” prosecutors Jay Bratt, Julie Edelstein and David Harbach wrote.

So some papers shifting around in a box hardly makes for some purposeful tampering attempt, and it ultimately has no effect on the overall criminal case that was filed. Y'all are just seizing on this, trying to claim it's "tampering" to cast doubt on the case the prosecution has. But the prosecution never once admitted that they tampered with evidence, as you suggested. They admitted that some of the documents are not in the correct scan order, and that this could have come from moving the boxes about. But each box does still contain the same material that was recorded being placed into the boxes.

So again, he never said he tampered with evidence.
