Trump also appeared to be pictured with his former lawyer Ty Cobb, who served in his administration for one year. Cobb later told CBS that he believes the chances of Trump being indicted are now "very high".
However, Cobb told the publication that he believes Trump is more likely to be indicted over his connection to the Capitol riots and not the FBI raid.
Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was raided on 8 August. They claim they recovered a raft of documents that were classified.
Michael Cohen, his former fixer who sensationally turned against him before he was jailed for lying to Congress, federal tax crimes and financial campaign violations, posted this:
Many are asking me why Mr. Mushroom Putter was at his DC Golf Course (which is really in Virginia)? He says to play golf. My sources say he was meeting with 2 lawyers in secrecy and didn’t trust being at their offices. Notice there are no golf clubs on the cart!!! pic.twitter.com/KOvzgD2mxC

I wonder if Trump realizes there’s a good chance that at least one of these men is an FBI mole? pic.twitter.com/UD78s0zgGO

Elsewhere, George Conway, the husband of former Trump senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, also took to social media after the images were published of Trump's apparently not-so-secret meeting.
Conway noted that it "hasn't exactly been golf weather here". Then he made a few puns to twist the knife on Trump.
"It's been arraigning — I mean, raining," he wrote. "I have zero indict — I mean, insight — into what's happening here."
