The Trump Indictment: Expectations, Support, and Controversy.

Former US President Donald Trump is set to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday, facing 37 felony charges, including wilful retention of national defence information, conspiracy to commit obstruction, and false statements. Trump is accused of unlawfully storing sensitive national-security files in his Mar-a-Lago estate and sharing sensitive US secrets with people who had no security clearance. The charges carry the prospect of a significant prison sentence, including violations of the Espionage Act that criminalises unauthorised possession of defence information. Despite the legal proceedings against him, a vast majority of his fellow Republicans believe the lawsuits to be politically motivated.
