the breaking news of this historic and quite frankly damning indictment released to the public today. laying out the special counsel s case against donald trump and his gross mishandling of classified documents. given that this is the first time such actions are being taken against a former president, the special counsel made sure he came prepared with the receipts. and they could not be any more incriminating. in all, the special counsel is charging trump with 37 counts. 31 of them have to do with trump s willful retention of national defense information. otherwise known as the espionage act. these are charges related to false statements, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding and corruptly concealing documents, as well as scheming to conceal. included in some of the charges is one of trump s closest aides, walt nada, who was also indicted. also today, we heard for the tir time from the man leading the special counsel investigation, jack smith. our laws that protect n
