Donald Trump, former President of the United States, is once again tried. But this time he is accused of keeping confidential government documents after losing the presidency. The trial took place on Tuesday, June 13 in Miami, Florida.

In total, 37 positions have been attributed, of which 31 are related to the law of espionage. In the trial, he is accused, inter alia, of providing false testimonies, of obstructing justice and of preserving national security information. This is the first time a former president has been tried federally.

According to attorney Jack Smith, in January 2021, after the White House was abandoned, Trump adopted a number of documents, including national security secrets. In addition, he claims that, although the courts have requested the return of documents, Trump was denied. That is why he says that the facts violate the law of espionage and hinder justice.

Bill Clinton and George W in their defense. Bush, former president, has also declared that they kept confidential documents, but has denounced that there was no trial against them. In addition, he accuses Joe Bide’s president of having made the trial and presents himself as a victim of a “witch hunt”.
