Jack Smith said Donald Trump “put our country at risk” during a rare statement following the unsealing of the special counsel’s indictment against the former president related to his alleged mishandling of classified records.
Smith said during his brief remarks in Washington, D.C., that Trump had been charged with “felony violations of our national security laws as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice” and said his indictment laid out “the scope and the gravity of the crimes” that Trump had been charged with related to the Mar-a-Lago saga.“The men and women of the United States intelligence community and our armed forces dedicate their lives to protecting our nation and its people,” Smith said.
The unsealed indictment indicated the classified documents in Trump’s boxes included"defense and weapons capabilities" of both the U.S. and foreign countries, U.S."nuclear programs,” and possible"vulnerabilities" of the U.S. and its allies to a"military attack.” Nauta was also charged with six criminal counts: conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding of a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and a false statements charge.
President Joe Biden is being investigated by another Garland-appointed special counsel, Robert Hur. Biden’s personal attorneys said they first discovered classified documents in early November at the Penn Biden Center, located in Washington. Biden’s lawyers later found more classified documents at his Wilmington home in Delaware, and the DOJ found more when it conducted its own search.
An IRS watchdog and the DOJ later admitted the IRS committed wrongdoing, although not of the criminal variety. Lerner would apologize.
