Prosecutors in the special counsel's office have presented compelling preliminary evidence that former President Donald Trump knowingly and deliberately misled his own attorneys about his retention of classified materials after leaving office, a former top federal judge wrote Friday in a sealed filing, according to sources who described its contents to ABC News.
U.S. Judge Beryl Howell, who on Friday stepped down as the D.C. district court's chief judge, wrote last week that prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office had made a "prima facie showing that the former president had committed criminal violations," according to the sources, and that attorney-client privileges

So!
Let's also talk about the classified documents from other former presidents.

The walls are closing in for the 800th time, and yet somehow they have not moved an inch.

When you are President there are NO documents you are not allowed to see... at least that is the way it used to be. Prior to the showboating raid by a corrupt DOJ and FBI, President Trump was cooperating with the government. The fact that the thugs would not allow security cameras to be on, means the thugs planted what they wanted to find. Prove me wrong with a FBI that destroys, edits and loses evidence it's controllers don't like. We live in a Police state and the people that swore an oath to stop this sort of horror, were cowards, blackmailed or part of the coup.

"Sources" revealing the confidential activities of a Special Counsel are committing something worse than an attorney advocating for his client (not "misleading"). ABC should be after itself.

Hmmm. Just finished reading Piers Morgan’s “Trump ripping” interview setting up questions for DeSantis to answer about Trump and THE truth, only to refresh latest articles here and see this article on accusations of Trump lying to his lawyers about classified documents.

I doubt ALL things that come from DoJ, always. This "special council" is a partisan hack without interest in facts or law.

How does the Special Prosecutor know attorney client privileged communications between Trump and his attorneys?

Did the Special Counsel EVER understand the de-Classification Authority of the POTUS? Besides, trial lawyers don't decide what is and isn't Classified.

ABC "News." Anonymous sources. No tangible evidence. Another Trump hit piece, another day.

as usual, it appears that one of the alphabet channels is doing what it can to interrupt and interfere with our President's advancement to the White House, again
let me see if I got this straight: a "judge wrote" that a "Special Counsel claims" that "Trump deliberately misled his attorneys about classified documents"
this is side stepping the first advice that any attorney gives to his prospective client: don't lie to me and tell me the the truth about everything

Liberal Democrat Judge, appointed by Barack Obama, who used to work for the ultra liberal Patrick Leahy, so what would expect her take would be in such a highly political criminal persecution of the leading Republican candidate for President in 2024 and a former conservative President?

What crimes? I want details. The President of the United States is entitled to see all classified material and do with it as he pleases, except provide it to foreign governments, like Joe Biden the Imposter has done during his "not the president" years. This is simply the next step in the 2024 "Get Trump" project. The democrats' use of the word "special" has become a code word for "special needs."
