The Justice Department is investigating if former President Donald Trump violated three federal laws involving the handling of national security information when he moved government records from the White House to Mar-a-Lago upon leaving office.
According to the warrant, the Justice Department is scrutinizing whether Trump broke laws against gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information; the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records; and the concealment, removal, or mutilation of records.
The inventory listed"various classified/TS/SCI documents," referring to documents marked top secret; miscellaneous confidential, secret, and top-secret documents; and a number of other boxes. "DOJ, for its part, has frankly shown a willingness to risk national security, at least temporarily, in order to show some deference and courtesy to a former POTUS," Rangappa wrote."I think it's fair to say that if you or I tried this, we'd be arrested on Day 1."
