Secret Documents in the Bathroom: Serious Allegations Against Trump

Secret documents in the bathroom, gossip about military attack plans: By convicting Donald Trump in the document case, the US judiciary is making serious allegations against the former US president. The 49-page indictment against the Republican presidential candidate was released yesterday.

A total of seven categories of offenses are listed, and Trump is accused of a total of 37 offenses. The charges include conspiracy to obstruct investigations and illegal retention of highly sensitive information, including details of US and foreign nuclear capabilities and US military contingency plans.

The background is the case regarding Trump’s handling of classified government documents after he left the White House. The FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago, Florida home in August and seized several classified documents, some of the highest classification level. In introducing the indictment, the special prosecutor in charge of the case, Jack Smith, asserted, among other things, that the law was the same for everyone. As with everyone else, the presumption of innocence applies to Trump. The stated goal now is “quick operation”.
