Trump faces new charges in classified docs case

Former President Trump is facing new charges in the classified documents case. The updated indictment includes new counts of obstruction and willful retention of national defense information. According to the superceding indictment, Trump asked a staffer to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct the federal investigation. The special counsel also brought new criminal charges against a maintenance worker at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. A Trump spokesperson dismissed the new charges as continued efforts to “harass” Trump and influence the 2024 presidential race.
