Donald Trump was convicted in the documents case in the United States

Former US President Donald Trump said he is accused in the so-called documents case. He denies any wrongdoing.

On his own platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote that he received the letter from the Biden administration, and that the indictment appeared to be about “boxes of documents.”

It is reported that he must appear in federal court in Miami next Tuesday. It happens just months after he appeared in court in Manhattan, where he was charged in the so-called bribery case.

• ABC News wrote that they have received confirmation of the indictment from several sources, and that it will be a total of seven indictments dealing with Trump’s handling of classified documents and attempts to oppose the judiciary.
• According to the New York Times, Trump will also be indicted for storing documents containing so-called defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act.

Trump attorney Jim Trusty confirmed that the Espionage Act is part of the indictment. He also says Trump is accused of multiple counts of obstruction of justice as well as conspiracy and making false statements.

Commentary on the investigations against Trump: reinforced by the indictment

Trump says he is innocent

The US Department of Justice and the White House have not commented on the case.

– I never thought that something like this could happen to a former US president, writes Trump on Friday night, Norwegian time, and confirms the number of votes he received in the last presidential election.

– I am an innocent man, he writes further.

Trump is the first US president to be charged in a criminal case. He is also accused in the so-called “Hash Money” case in Manhattan, New York, Where he denies the criminal charge. Take a quick look at it here:

This is what the case is about

The document case concerned, among other things, how Trump handled classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida residence after he finished as president:

• Federal authorities are investigating Trump over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House. The investigation is led by private investigator Jack Smith.
• According to the Associated Press, the case began when the US National Archives discovered that they were missing important documents from the Trump era as president. Many documents were returned, but not all. These documents belong to the US government and must be preserved in a private manner.
• In August 2022, FBI agents entered Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and found about 11,000 documents spread across 33 boxes, the Associated Press writes. About 100 of these are marked confidential.

He gets support from his country

Despite the many ongoing investigations, Trump is the favorite to win the battle to become the Republican nominee in the next presidential election in 2024. He is fighting against, among others, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his former vice president, Mike Pence.

Regarding the silent money issue, US experts told VG that indictments like this are not certain at all, which is bad news for Trump.

On Friday evening, he had the support of several party members, including House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

It is unreasonable for a sitting president to accuse the most senior candidate standing against him. This is a black day for the United States, he tells Reuters, and he clearly supports Trump.

Investigations are also underway into the handling of classified documents related to President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence.

according to CNN The Trump case is still considered more serious. Several documents are involved, and the case includes accusations that Trump and his representatives tried to block representatives from the authorities who were working to recover the documents.
