Ex-Defense Secretary and Officials Warn Against Trusting Trump with National Secrets.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that if the allegations made in Donald Trump's federal indictment over his handling of classified documents prove true, the former president should not be trusted with the nation's secrets again. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charges, including 31 counts of "willful retention of national defense information." Esper's critical remarks about his onetime boss follow damning language by another high-profile Trump administration official - former Attorney General Bill Barr - who said last week that Trump was "toast" if even half of the details in his indictment were true.
