There has reportedly been a major update in the classified documents probe, as the former president faces charges in the hush money investigation.
Donald Trump is at risk of being charged with obstruction in the classified documents investigation as well as the Stormy Daniels hush money probe, according to reports.
Trump is already set to become the first U.S. president in history to be charged with a crime on Tuesday, after he was indicted as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation.
There is also speculation that Trump’s frequent attacks against Bragg and the D.A.’s hush money probe while denying any wrongdoing may result in the former president facing obstruction charges in New York.
Trump is reported to be facing more than 30 criminal charges related to business fraud in connection to Bragg’s probe, which focused on a $130,000 sum that the Republican purportedly arranged for his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to pay Daniels to keep an alleged affair she and Trump had secret ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Investigators are also looking into whether any records were falsified when Cohen was reimbursed for the payment, which was listed by The Trump Organization as legal fees. Trump denies all wrongdoing and denies having an affair with Daniels in 2006.
Trump denies all wrongdoing, with his office accusing Smith’s investigation of having « no basis in facts or law. »
After receiving the government subpoena in May 2022, Trump is alleged to have looked through some of the boxes of government documents out of an apparent desire to keep certain things in his possession.
