Trump is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, charged with seven counts relating to his retention of thousands of government documents. Trump will be the first president in U.S. history to be indicted on federal charges.
. Although he didn’t go into extensive detail, Trusty did list a number of U.S. Codes of Law that the DOJ was planning to charge him with, including the Espionage Act.
After Trump left the White House, he took with him thousands of government documents, which the National Archives and Records Administration sought to retrieve for almost a year afterward, as all records originating from the office of the president officially belong to the U.S. government and the American people, not the chief executive in office at the time they were generated.
Trump’s lawyers drafted an affidavit affirming he had returned all documents marked as classified to the DOJ and NARA. When additional evidence was obtained by investigators that he still held onto classified documents, the FBI obtained a warrant for the property, which they used to search the estate in August while Trump was in New York.
But legal experts dismissed these suggestions. Former U.S. Attorney and current University of Michigan Law School professor Barb McQuade, for example, responded directly to criticism by Hawley, calling it a “reckless comment from a lawyer who knows better.”No one is jailing anyone at will. A grand jury has found probable cause of crimes. Trump gets due process, like everyone else. He gets jailed only if a jury finds guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and a judge imposes jail.
