Doubling Down on Documents Charges

The special counsel has added new charges on one of Trump's four ongoing investigations. The 37 criminal counts on the Classified Documents Case will now be 40.

When a third separate indictment about Trump's plot to overturn the 2020 election was expected, special counsel Jack Smith, instead, doubled down on a previous indictment. New evidence has been found that shows intentional acts on Trump's part to obstruct the recovery of the stolen classified documents he stashed in Mar-a-Lago. Specifically, IT and maintenance crew employees were forced to delete 45 days of security footage.
