Criminal charges involving classified documents found at his home. But it is his latest indictment on the Capitol Attack that may lead to new Court Restrictions on the former president. In a court filing last night, Special Counsel jack smith seeks to stop Defense Lawyers from Sharing Copies of evidence with trump that is deemed sensitive.
