Trump indicted on SEVEN charges including violation of the ESPIONAGE ACT over classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago: Angrily proclaims his innocence ahead of Miami courthouse appearance next Tuesday

Former President Donald Trump has been sensationally indicted on a slew of federal charges including obstruction and a violation of the Espionage Act over the classified documents he took from Mar-a-Lago.
In an unprecedented move, the Department of Justice has hit him with seven counts - and has made him the first former president to face federal charges.
Trump raged at the 'corrupt Biden Administration' and accused them of election interference in a video posted just minutes after the announcement from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
It is the second set of charges leveled at Trump this year, plunging the country into fresh legal and political uncertainty as he campaigns to return to office and after his defeat to President Joe Biden in 2020. It means the leading candidate in the Republican primary will have to split his time between the courtroom and the campaign trail as he tries to seal the GOP nomination.

'Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?' Ron DeSantis tears into DOJ as his 2024 rival is hit with seven federal charges - but stops short of saying he would pardon him
The Florida Governor said on Thursday night: 'The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society.'
He responded hours after Trump revealed that he had been indicted seven federal charges in the classified documents case.
'We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation. 'Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?
The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all.'
DeSantis, who is second place in polls across the country, stopped short
of saying he would pardon Trump if he won the 2024 race, and the former
president was convicted.
