Former president Donald Trump may be charged in same manner as Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, viral Twitter post claims.
While broadly accurate, the claims in the tweet require some context.But the affidavit and search warrant for Mar-a-Lago does show the DOJ had cause to search Donald Trump's property under potential violations of the Espionage Act, the same act which Edward Snowden and Julian Assange face charges under in the U.S.
Furthermore, before he was president, Trump indeed called for Snowden to be executed after the former NSA employee was charged with espionage. Although Trump inferred that Assange should face the death penalty for his actions, his comments came before the Wikileaks founder was charged.FACT CHECK BY Newsweek's Fact Check team
Needs Context: The claim requires more information to set it in the appropriate context. The claim as presented may be partly true, but cannot be fully or correctly understood without the right context.
