Trump’s Secret Documents Case Just Got Worse For Him
Ever since investigators pulled a pile of sensitive government documents out of former President Donald Trump’s infamously chandeliered bathroom, a question has loomed over the resulting criminal case: Why on Earth did Trump want those documents, anyway?
Now, prosecutors claim they have the answer. They haven’t publicly explained what it is. But they say they’re confident they can prove it in court.
And what's going to be really funny is when Jack Smith simply plays a video of Trump explaining exactly why he kept the documents.
Anybody who thinks that's not what's going to happen has been living under a rock since 2015.
The new court filing also says "But the fact is that the great majority of the allegations in the indictment—including allegations of the defendants’ conduct, knowledge, and intent—turn on evidence contained in the unclassified discovery, not the much smaller set of classified discovery."
The indictment includes several mentions of "did corruptly conceal a record, document, and other object, and attempted to do so, with the intent to impair the object's integrity and availability for use in an official proceeding [the grand jury]..."
A simple reading of the new court filing is that it states that they can prove that "Trump intended [to retain] them" to prevent a grand jury from indicting him for possessing and not returning classified documents.
It's jumping the gun to infer from the new court filing that Jack Smith knows why Trump took and kept them in the first place.
In other words, they can prove his intent to obstruct, not necessarily his intent with the documents.
Eric Trump Suddenly Quadrupled Property Value, Accountant Says
Eric Trump, the second eldest son of former President Donald Trump and the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, was behind the quadrupling of a Trump property in New York's value, according to the company's former accountant.
During his testimony in the $250 million civil fraud trial, former Trump Organization Comptroller Jeffrey McConney said that Eric was responsible for the jump in the value of the Seven Springs development in Westchester County, New York, testifying that it was after a phone conversation with the executive that a section of the estate went up in value from $25 million to $101 million.
