Why Trump was charged on secret documents and Clinton, Pence were not



Tweet

Apparently unlike Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence, Donald Trump actively tried to keep classified material he couldn't legally have, prosecutors allege. 

By Devlin Barrett

From the article:

"This is not a case about what documents were taken, it's about what former president Trump did after the government sought to retrieve those documents," said Mintz, who noted that willful-retention cases often hinge on how much evidence prosecutors can find that a person deliberately hid material or refused to give it back.

[The Washington Post] Skepticism before a search: Inside the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents investigation



Tweet

How Justice Department and FBI leaders decided they had to search Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago, and the steps they took to try to minimize legal risk and avoid mistakes. 

By Devlin Barrett, Jacqueline Alemany, Perry Stein, Josh Dawsey, Ann E. Marimow and Carol D. Leonnig

From the article:

Three days later, deliberately dressed down in khakis and polo shirts to try to lower their profile, agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago with the warrant. They spent hours combing Trump's storage room, residence and office, finding 103 classified documents — some in Trump's desk, according to court papers. They also took about 13,000 nonclassified documents as part of the investigation.
Combined with the documents previously recovered from the boxes sent to the Archives and the envelope turned over in June, the former president had kept at least 325 classified items at his private club and resort. Sixty were marked top secret, according to court papers. Some included highly classified information about a foreign country's nuclear capabilities, Iran's missile program and U.S. intelligence-gathering aimed at China, according to people familiar with their contents.

Your Right to Take Photographs and Make Video and Audio Recordings



Tweet

Taking photographs and videos of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is your constitutional right. That includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. Unfortunately, law enforcement officers often order people to stop taking photographs or video in public places, and sometimes harass, detain or even arrest people who use their cameras or cell phone recording devices in public. This sheet explains your rights.
