Former U.S. President Donald Trump charged in classified documents probe

The Hindu  

Former United States President Donald Trump has said that he has been indicted on charges of mishandling classified documents at his Florida estate, igniting a federal prosecution that is arguably the most perilous of multiple legal threats against the former president as he seeks to reclaim the White House. Read Editorial | Misplaced secrets: On U.S. President Joe Biden’s legal troubles “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” Mr. Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social, as he broke what would be bombshell news of a historic moment for the United States: the first time a sitting or former commander-in-chief has ever faced federal charges. Prosecutors have said that Mr. Trump took roughly 300 classified documents to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House, including some 100 that were seized by the FBI last August in a search of the home that underscored the gravity of the Justice Department's investigation. Trump’s legal troubles Mr. Trump's legal troubles extend beyond the New York indictment and classified documents case. The focus on obstruction was reminiscent of the special counsel investigation Mr. Trump faced as president, when prosecutors examined whether Mr. Trump illegally tried to thwart the Russia probe, including by firing his FBI director.
