It’s about time. Why have the Feds taken so long? Trump should have been indicted two years ago for his Insurrection and Sedition on January 6, 2021. Hopefully, that is coming soon. Along with an indictment in Georgia for his blatant 2020 election interference; i.e. “Get me another 11,000 votes.” In any other civilized country this Criminal Loser would have been behind bars, already.
Excerpted from The Guardian 6.8.2023
In a historic development Donald Trump has been indicted for charges connected to his alleged retention of national security documents.
The charges – which include willful retention of national security material, obstruction and conspiracy, according to a person familiar with the matter – came more than a year after federal prosecutors began investigating the former president for knowingly retaining the classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after he left office.
Federal prosecutors have charged Donald Trump with violating the Espionage Act and conspiring to obstruct the criminal investigation among other counts, according to a person familiar with the matter, a historic development marking the most significant legal peril yet for the former president.
The exact nature of the seven-count indictment, filed by the office of special counsel Jack Smith in federal district court in Miami, remains unclear. At least some of the counts include willful retention of national security materials, obstruction, scheme to conceal, false statements and conspiracy, the person said.
Trump and his legal team were told of the charges on Thursday afternoon. Trump is expected to surrender himself to authorities in Miami on Tuesday at 3pm, the person said, confirming what the former president posted on his Truth Social platform.
