'Charge Trump now': Legal expert says DOJ shouldn't wait for midterms to indict former president

Raw Story  

Former federal prosecutor Shan Wu wants the Department of Justice to ignore past precedent about maintaining radio silence about politically sensitive investigations ahead of elections and file charges against former President Donald Trump immediately.

"The current criminal investigation into potential Espionage Act violations centered around the national defense documents recovered at Mar-a-Lago involves potential ongoing risks to U.S. national security and even possible danger to human sources," he argues. "Fear of being accused of corrupt political motivations cannot be DOJ’s guiding star in the midst of unprecedented twin threats to national security and our elections.
