Comparing Trump's Indictment to Previous Political Scandals.

Former President Donald Trump is facing 37 federal counts for hoarding hundreds of classified documents after he left the White House. While other public figures have also had classified material outside of secure settings, Trump is the only former official who refused to return all the classified documents as soon as he was asked about them. Experts say the crucial difference is intent, namely what Trump allegedly did after he learned the National Archives wanted the classified documents he had back. Trump's apparent intent to keep the records, while allegedly deceiving authorities about them and showing them to visitors, is what sets his case apart from Clinton, Pence, and Biden.
