of course, especially of the recipients of said disclosures were deemed by POTUS to be vital operatives.
If Trump actually said this and read or showed the document to those without clearance, he is in trouble.
If one of those people can be shown to be a foreign agent (known or unknown to Trump) then his goose is cooked.
Indictments are not evidence. They are a summary. I’m sick of the Trump drama. He needs to go away.
Drama is what drives the Dems attack to make trump supporters leave trump... apparently working on you
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on federal charges in an investigation into his handling of classified documents, according to an indictment unsealed on Friday.
The indictment comes after more than 100 documents with classified markings were found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in August 2022.
Trump has been charged with 37 counts: 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

We have a plan to attack every nation in the world. Attacking Iran?? Who classified it?? He could declassify it.
[Trump] didn’t show it to [the other person], he just kind of waved it in front of him as part of his kind of bragging.
Throwing whatever they can against the wall and hoping something will stick.
Judge Roy Bean judgement in action.
This isn’t a trial it’s a lynching
That is contradicted by the transcript. In the transcript, while discussing the document Trump says to the writer “this is XXXX’s plan, read it” and later says, “I’ll show you an example”. So he did more than wave it around, he had the writer read it. Now in the 2nd instance, you might be right, where Trump showed a map to a PAC member but told him not to get too close. But Trump is not being charged for either of those incidents. They apparently are included to show Trump handled classified intelligence carelessly and that he knew he had documents that were still classified.
Yep, everyone is talking about the recording but it has been edited and taken out of context......
That’s not true. Sperry is referring to a summary of the incident listed early in the indictment and ignoring a 2-page account and transcript of the incident included later in the indictment. Read the indictment, especially the quotes from the transcript. The actual quote from Trump was, “This is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information.”
But ultimately, whether Smith omitted those words or not is immaterial, since Trump was not charged it’s sharing classified information. So the omission of those words from the indictment would no impact any of the actual charges filed.
I think this is probably true, which explains why Trump was not charged with sharing classified information. But this does not impact any of the charges actually included in the indictment. So you can categorize this tweet as accurate, but irrelevant.
