Trump’s Federal Indictment Makes History and Could Impact Election, National Security

On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump will be arraigned in a Florida courtroom on charges that he mishandled classified documents and attempted to obstruct justice. According to the 37-count indictment, Trump corralled top secret documents in closets, storage rooms and even a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago, his Florida residence. Included in the documents were information about the country’s nuclear program as well as top-secret military information. We’ll discuss the criminal case against Trump, which includes 31 claims that Trump violated the Espionage Act, as well as its implications for national security and the election.
