under the very same espionage act that trump is complaining about being charged under. and more than three years after the murder of george floyd under the knee of a minneapolis police officer, the doj finally releases the damning findings of their investigation into the minneapolis pd. but we begin tonight with the rantings of a twice indicted former president who seems to forget that history is well chronicled and easily searched. at his bedminster golf club earlier this week where it s cited in the special counsel s indictment that he on two occasions shared classified documents with people lacking security clearances, donald trump attacked the use of the espionage act under which he s being charged. charming a former president of the united states under the espionage act of 1917 wasn t meant for this. an act for a crime so heinous that only the death penalty would do. it s one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an american court of
