Legal Threats Loom for Trump Over Secret Recordings and Obstruction Charges

During a town hall event with Fox News, former President Donald Trump downplayed the legal threat of secret papers recording, insisting that he had done nothing wrong. He also claimed that any classified materials seized by investigators at Mar-a-Lago were previously declassified by him during his presidency, though he has shown no evidence of an order to do so. Trump's defences to the various legal challenges that have cropped up since the end of his presidency have taken on a derisive tone as he faces a stunning and unprecedented array of criminal and civil cases.
