NEW: Trump charged with seven counts, including — willful retention of national defense information, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, false statements and concealment under title 18 of the US criminal code, per person familiar. https://t.co/KXyoQlxQyQ

Feels like a good time to mention that the DOJ has a 99.6% conviction rate in federal cases.

This indictment would be the first time in American history a former president has faced federal charges.

🚨🚨BREAKING: A second person is expected to be charged alongside Trump in the handling of classified documents,” The Messenger reports.
“It’s unclear if the unidentified second defendant will be named in the same indictment as Trump or in a separate charging document.”

* Espionage Act *
ABC News: The charges include "willful retention of national defense information."
(As I have long predicted.)
That offense fits the alleged conduct, a perfect match.@KFaulders reportinghttps://t.co/QKPCuW7XOK

3. According to ABC News the charges also include:
"Conspiracy"
"Scheme to conceal" [sounds like 18 U.S. Code § 1519]
"False statements and representations" [sounds like 18 U.S. Code § 1001]https://t.co/QKPCuW7XOK— Ryan Goodman (@rgoodlaw) June 9, 2023
Breaking News: Donald Trump has been indicted in the classified documents case, the first time a former U.S. president has faced federal criminal charges. https://t.co/hqmcG6TJaD

According to @nytimes, charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice. Federal conspiracy law requires two or more people to constitute conspiracy. Who is/are the co-conspirator(s)? https://t.co/yXLHZ4pOnF

On news of Trump’s indictment (if true), I’d imagine my frmr colleagues at DOJ are petitioning/will soon petition the Court to unseal the charges. Not doing so would allow Trump to fill the space w/ misinformation. Imperative for DOJ to get records unsealed w/n next 24 hours.

This picture will be in history books. Can you imagine stealing and lying to the FBI about having thousands of classified top secret national defense and security documents, and then, keeping them just sitting anyhow inside the latrine? pic.twitter.com/ioBEwGnlLU

Chief Justice Roberts should immediately amend the rules to permit cameras in federal courts. The American public is entitled to watch the proceedings against Trump in their entirety. Anything less would be an injustice.

A big dropoff in House GOP messaging on the Trump indictment today. I get every House R newsletter, just 4 of 36 sent so far today mention it. Per my list of all their twitter accounts, I think ~1/4 of posts are about it, but mostly from the same few dozen. Many have said nothing

LaFaye Gaskins is free after serving three decades on a life sentence for a murder there was no real evidence he actually committed! He’s grabbing breakfast on his way back to Philly from SCI Mahanoy. I’m on a train to Philly right now, heading to meet him at his mom’s house. https://t.co/Jz8tkYLkuS
