It was on August 8 that FBI agents entered Trump’s Florida property after a lengthy investigation and suspicion that confidential documents were stored there. During the search, they found 33 boxes with over 100 classified documents.
Trump is now being investigated for possible violations of the Espionage Act.
Reacting to the outfit: “Nobody knows”
During an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, Trump warned of the consequences of any indictment, writes The Washington Post.
According to the former president, an indictment against him will lead to “problems of proportions that the country may never have seen before,” the newspaper wrote.
– I don’t think people in the United States can take it, he added.

“Big problems”
The radio host then says Trump’s critics might describe what he says as a plea for violence.
– There is no invitation – I’m just saying what my opinion is. I don’t think the people of this country would support it, Trump replies.
Hewitt continues to press Trump on the issue, and reiterates that there would be “big problems, big problems,” writes the Washington Post.

Strictly secret
Some of the confidential documents found on Trump’s property by the FBI are said to be so sensitive that only the president, cabinet members, or close government aides had access to them. Washington Post previously written.
According to anonymous sources in the newspaper, one of the documents allegedly described, among other things, the military defense and nuclear weapons capability of another country.
– He had nuclear secrets
The Justice Department accuses Trump and his collaborators of hiding or moving confidential documents in Mar-a-Lago so that they could not be found by FBI agents, which they describe as an attempt to obstruct the investigation.
It will still be quiet
Trump denies doing anything illegal and says he is the victim of a witch hunt. The former president claims that the seized documents have been declassified.
A threat to allies
Earlier this month, Trump, who reluctantly left the Oval Office in 2020, said “everyone wants him to run” for the presidency of the next election, which will be held in 2024.
During the interview with Hewitt, he denies that a possible indictment will put a spanner in the wheels of his candidacy, and that “he would not be forbidden to run” if he were indicted.
– Wouldn’t that take you out of the game? Hewitt asks.
– He wouldn’t do that, replies Trump.
