In the last two weeks, Donald Trump’s lead attorney in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case quit. Then it was learned that another Trump attorney was misdirected by Trump when he was told where to search for classified documents. And everyone involved seemed to be expecting indictments as special counsel Jack Smith reportedly nears the end of his investigation.
The reason his attorneys are heading for the door became even more obvious on Wednesday when, as Hunter reported, it was learned that Smith’s investigation has an actual tape of Trump admitting to keeping a top-secret document related to a potential attack on Iran. That tape reportedly settles any questions that:
-
Trump understood that he was withholding highly classified defense information
-
Trump has revealed that information to others
-
Trump knew that the documents had not been declassified
It’s far from all that’s happened in just the past few days. There are still more reports of documents being shifted around in anticipation of a visit from the FBI, concerns around workers dodging security cameras, and even more evidence that Trump trotted out classified material for visitors. All of which makes the potential for a warrant with Trump’s name on it more likely.
