Throughout the opinion, Howell – then chief judge of the federal district court in Washington DC – described with varying degrees of disbelief how four documents with classification marks could have been discovered in Trump’s private quarters. after prosecutors subpoenaed them and the FBI conducted its own thorough search of the property.
“Specifically, no excuse is made for how the former president could have missed the classified documents he found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago,” Howell, an Obama appointee, wrote.
In a footnote, Howell also noted that another Trump adviser affiliated with his Save America PAC had acknowledged scanning and storing the contents of the box containing the classified materials on a personal laptop belonging to the PAC in 2021.
Trump’s office provided the box containing the four documents to the FBI in January 2023, Howell noted.
Donald Trump likes to claim that the criminal cases against him are politically valid, but if Judge Aileen Cannon had not postponed the secret documents trial for political reasons, the ex-president might now be on trial, or in court. trial for theft of secret documents.
There is a pile of evidence against Trump in the Manhattan case, but there is a pile of evidence against the defendant in the classified documents case.
The case that should really scare Trump and fuel his desperation to return to the White House is the classified documents case.
