At a glance, the professional grade Nikon cameras do not look like they have a GPS feature which might make date/time settings automatically correct. It may have WiFi, so maybe it can auto set the date/time if connected to a network.
So, more than likely, the pictures's date is more or less correct, and the time may be correct.
The modified time is less certain, because some of that is OS/editing program dependent. I don't have all the info but it might just be when the photographer decided to collect all the photos and burn them to a disk. It's probable that photos of Franken's USO tour were archived as a result of his election. Those photos instantly become more historic, for a number of reasons.
I suppose there could be a more nefarious plan, but I'm not willing to believe a single inappropriate photo was intentionally held on to until it could be revealed at the most damaging time. I suspect it's more likely that Tweeden remembered some inappropriate behavior from Al Franken, and went looking for proof.
