The legal charges against former President Donald Trump are mounting, with three new charges recently added to the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. One of the latest accusations is that Trump allegedly asked an employee to delete security footage that prosecutors were interested in obtaining. The investigation has also expanded to include Trump's New Jersey golf course, where he was recorded discussing a top-secret plan to attack Iran. Trump is now facing charges under the Espionage Act for retaining a document for nearly a year after leaving office.


Charges Pile Up

Donald Trump is facing an increasing number of legal challenges, with three new charges added to the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. These charges are related to his alleged mishandling of classified material and attempts to obstruct the investigation by tampering with security footage. Trump is currently fighting several cases while maintaining aspirations of returning to the White House.

Trump's Alleged Conspiracy

Prosecutors have updated their charges against Trump, now alleging that he conspired with his property manager, Carl Osdee Oliveira, to remove incriminating CCTV footage showing staff moving boxes at his Florida estate. This move seems to be an attempt to further obstruct the investigation.

Focus on New Jersey Golf Course

The investigation has expanded beyond Mar-a-Lago and is now focused on Trump's New Jersey golf course. Recordings captured Trump boasting about a highly confidential plan to attack Iran, which he had previously denied having knowledge of.

Charged Under the Espionage Act

Trump is facing charges under the Espionage Act for retaining a document for almost a year after leaving office. Legal experts suggest that his best chance to avoid conviction is if he wins against Biden.

Trump's Defense and Future Prospects

Trump vehemently denies all the charges against him and has criticized the legal actions as a witch hunt. He believes that if he wins the next election, he can dismiss the case against him. However, even if the case proceeds before the election, appeals may extend the process.

Upcoming Court Appearances

Trump's property manager, Carl Osdee Oliveira, is scheduled to appear in court in Miami on Monday. The full trial, however, is not expected to take place until May of next year.

More Serious Federal Case

Apart from the current charges, a more serious federal case is looming, related to the events of January 6th and the potential charge of attempting to stage an insurrection. If Trump can avoid prison until the next election, the polarizing forces that played out on January 6th may resurface, potentially supercharged by a sense of injustice.


The legal battles surrounding Donald Trump continue to intensify, and the outcome of these cases will have significant implications for his political future and legacy.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Micah Richards analyses Manchester United's 'humiliating' 7-0 loss to Liverpool | Match of the Day 2 Well, if he ran them after Brentford, he'll be running them tomorrow, won't he? I mean, what a remarkable game. Yeah, I was in disbelief. I was shocked and I was stunned from a Man United point of view. Man United, over the last couple of months, have been brilliant. You could see what they've been trying to do. Got some really good results, especially the one against Barcelona. The confidence was in the team. I didn't see United going and maybe winning today, I thought they'd maybe get a draw. But from Liverpool's point of view, they were clinical, they were outstanding, they had the fluidity back in the team. And they're just. This is a Liverpool that you want to see. We always thought Liverpool would be this this season. It's not quite h...
