US District Court Judge Aileen Cannon is letting Donald Trump keep his options open. She ruled Thursday that the man who appointed her need not accuse the FBI of evidence-tampering under oath yet.

The former president has baselessly alleged that the FBI planted evidence during its search of Mar-a-Lago, which netted a trove of highly classified documents from Trump’s desk and pool closet.

In the days following the search the former president and his team stoked baseless conspiracy theories about the planting of evidence. “Planting information, anyone?’” Trump sneered on Truth Social. Trump’s lawyer Christina Bob told a right-wing news outlet that “there is no security that something wasn’t planted.” Jesse Watters of Fox News kept riffing on the theme, inviting another Trump attorney on his show to make even more baseless allegations.

Like all good conspiracy theories, the idea that the FBI planted classified documents at Mar-a-Lago coexists peacefully with an equal and opposite bit of nonsense. Trump is also admitting that he took those documents marked “classified” but that’s okay because he declassified them all with his Presidential Mind Ray before he left office. Last week, Trump insisted to Sean Hannity that the president can declassify documents “even by thinking about it.”
