The Department of Justice may have more evidence showing former President Donald Trump meddled with classified documents in his possession after he was subpoenaed, a report claims.
Multiple people familiar with the matter told the Washington Post that Special Counsel Jack Smith used emails and text messages from a former Trump aide to build the case that Trump or his team may have meddled with some of the classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he was subpoenaed by the government. The sources claim that prosecutors believe Trump personally looked through the contents of some of the boxes of documents following the subpoena.
“The witch-hunts against President Trump have no basis in facts or law," Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said."The deranged special counsel and the DOJ have now resorted to prosecutorial misconduct by illegally leaking information to corrupt the legal process and weaponize the justice system in order to manipulate public opinion and conduct election interference, because they are clearly losing all across the board.
The latest revelation comes after Trump's indictment by a Manhattan grand jury in connection with an investigation relating to alleged hush money payments former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen gave to porn star Stormy Daniels.
