Trump Fires Back: Biden’s Indictment Aimed at Eliminating a Political Rival
Former US President Donald Trump’s first response to the indictment was “Biden is trying to eliminate a political opponent”.
Donald Trump has been indicted on charges related to his handling of classified national security records. The indictment includes 37 criminal counts, including willfully retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act, making false statements, and a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
The charges stem from the federal investigation into his handling of sensitive government documents after he left the White House. The indictment centers on Trump’s hoarding of sensitive government documents after he left office and his refusal to return them, even after being subpoenaed for all remaining records in his possession that were marked as classified. The charges mark the first time a former US president has faced federal charges.
