The Justice Department indicted the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, on Thursday and filed charges before a Federal Court in Miami. The former president must appear next Tuesday before the judge.
He is the first former president in the country's history to face federal charges. This puts the country in a complex situation because Trump is the main candidate to be chosen to be president of the Republicans for 2024.
Donald Trump has been indicted on a total of seven counts. They have not yet been specified, but he has revealed that among these accusations is that of intentionally withholding secret National Defense documents that violate the espionage act, as well as conspiracy to obstruct justice. The indictment has been made by prosecutor Jack Smith and this comes months after the Manhattan prosecutor filed criminal charges against Trump in the case that connects to the payment of money to a porn star to keep quiet before the 2016 elections. The White House did not want to comment on this accusation of the former president.
The former president announced last night, on his Truth Social social network, that he had been charged. "They do not stop, it is electoral interference at the highest level. This has never happened before, I am an innocent man. This is a war and the country is going to hell." And he added that "we already have big problems and this should not be one of them. It's a farce," he commented on his video.
United States federal prosecutors notified Donald Trump in recent days that he was under investigation in relation to the handling of classified documents; that is to say, for hiding hundreds of secret papers in his residence in Mar-a-Lago, as reported on Wednesday by the ABC network and later by other news outlets in the country.
The jurists and analysts who collaborate in these media assured that the processing of this formal communication was the possible prelude to a criminal accusation against the former president of the nation.
