As Historic Court Appearance Approaches, Trump and Allies Ramp Up Assault on Criminal Case

Former President Donald Trump and his allies are intensifying their efforts to undermine the criminal case against him and mobilize protests in anticipation of his upcoming federal court appearance. The Justice Department has charged Trump with dozens of felony charges, including violating the Espionage Act by illegally hoarding classified information that put national security at risk. Trump has called the special counsel’s team of prosecutors “thugs” and urged his supporters to peacefully protest his arraignment in Miami. Despite the severity of the charges, Trump has maintained his dominance in the Republican primary, stating unequivocally that he will not withdraw from the 2024 race. The indictment alleges that Trump intentionally retained classified documents, including those related to nuclear programs, defense, and weapons capabilities of the U.S. and foreign governments, on his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, after leaving the White House in January 2021. In addition to directing personal aide Walt Nauta to conceal the documents, Trump sought to obstruct government efforts to recover them. While some Republicans have sought to argue that Trump is being treated unfairly, former Attorney General William Barr has said that the allegations in the indictment are damning and could prove to be Trump’s downfall.
