Donald Trump is facing 37 federal charges for mishandling and illegally storing classified documents in Florida. Extremists are responding with violent threats.
On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the 37-count federal indictment of former President Donald Trump, and the growing threat of political violence in the U.S.
Trump is facing 37 federal charges for mishandling classified documents, including top-secret information about nuclear weapons and secret military plans to attack Iran. Federal prosecutors say he illegally stored dozens of highly sensitive documents throughout his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and refused to return them to the FBI. He is the first U.S. president to face federal criminal charges.
The former president was also arraigned in April on charges of financial fraud related to hush-money payments he made to Stormy Daniels. Many top Republican politicians have continued to publicly support the former president.
