Many people with expertise within the situation said Thursday that the Justice Department’s historic move to file federal criminal charges against the former president was legally and politically significant.

Charges against Trump
Approximately two months after regional attorneys in New York submitted more than 30 criminal charges against Trump in a case related to a confidential payment to a porn star before the 2016 election, the special counsel Jack Smith’s office announced a charge against the president-elect.
Smith is also looking into Trump’s extensive attempts to hold onto power after his loss in the 2020 election and how those attempts contributed to the pro-Trump mob’s assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Trump took sensitive government documents with him
The collection of hundreds of sensitive government documents that the former president took with him from the White House and kept primarily at his private club and residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, has been the subject of repeated efforts by the National Archives and Records Administration and the Department of Justice to recover them.
Trump has called the investigation a fabricated witch chase on many occasions, and in recent weeks, his attorneys have tried to bring up what they claim are instances of prosecutorial misconduct.
