Donald Trump To Be Indicted In Classified Docs Scandal

[Webster]

(BBC News) Trump announces indictment on Truth Social
Donald Trump announced that his attorneys have informed him he has been indicted for a second time over the mishandling of classified documents.

He posted on Truth Social on Thursday night saying he has been “summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM”.

“I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election,” he wrote.

The Department of Justice has yet to put out a statement.

What has the former President been indicted for?
We do not yet officially know what is in the federal indictment against former President Donald J Trump.

But two sources familiar with the investigation confirmed to CBS News, the BBC's domestic partner, that the "multi-count indictment" involves the "retention of national defence information and obstruction."

Oh, by the way:

Biden classified documents investigation shows few signs of wrapping up soon

Probes related to Pence’s and Trump’s handling of classified documents have reached or appear to be reaching their ends. Biden, meanwhile, hasn’t been interviewed, sources said.

Now tell me the Trump mess isn't 100% political.

Yeah, its' 100 percent political; what took so long?

Trump didn't "shut up and go away" and is now running again?

This put a big smile on my face.

Nothing is going to happen. If something was to happen to him, it would have happened long ago. I wonder how many of these faux investigations can they pull before people just stop caring? Perhaps people have already started doing that.

This put a big smile on my face.

As long as they put as much effort into investigating the Biden Crime Family's activities, I'll smile right with you, Dee.

(The Guardian) Trump associate Walt Nauta indicted, reports say
An aide to Donald Trump, Walt Nauta, has been indicted alongside the former president in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the mishandling of classified documents, according to several reports.

Trump has also posted about the news on Truth Social. He said: I have just learned that the “Thugs” from the Department of Injustice will be Indicting a wonderful man, Walt Nauta, a member of the U.S. Navy, who served proudly with me in the White House, retired as Senior Chief, and then transitioned into private life as a personal aide. He has done a fantastic job! They are trying to destroy his life, like the lives of so many others, hoping that he will say bad things about “Trump.” He is strong, brave, and a Great Patriot. The FBI and DOJ are CORRUPT!

Trump's valet charged as part of Mar-a-Lago documents investigation
Federal prosecutors have charged Donald Trump’s valet in addition to the former president as part of the criminal investigation examining retention of national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort and obstruction of justice, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The exact charges against the valet, Walt Nauta, were unclear because the indictment remains under seal. One lawyer for Nauta could not confirm the indictment and another lawyer for Nauta who is off on vacation could not immediately be reached for comment.

Nauta has been under scrutiny for potential obstruction charges after he told prosecutors that Trump had instructed him to move boxes of potentially classified documents out of the Mar-a-Lago storage room after the Justice department had issued a subpoena for the return of any such papers.

The lawyers for Nauta were also told last year by prosecutors that he had given them potentially conflicting testimony that could give rise to false statements charges, the people said. Prosecutors recommended that Nauta cooperate against Trump but were rebuffed.

That's fine with me. I don't have any problem with digging around to find out if illegal shit is going on. The problem is, Trump just made his illegal shit so obvious.
