37-count federal indictment against the former president is one that even he says is “very, very damning” and the notion that it is a “witch hunt is ridiculous.”“If even half of it is true, he is toast,” Barr told Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” The indictment, filed by Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith, centers around Trump’s actions after leaving office rather than during his time as president.
Trump is accused of retaining classified documents after leaving office that “included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign counties; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to foreign attack,” according to the unsealed indictment.
Trump is also accused of lying to investigators about the location and volume of the documents he kept at his Mar-a-lago compound, adding obstruction of justice charges to the indictment.
