Trump's Legal Woes Deepen with New Charges and Overwhelming Evidence

Former President Donald Trump faces new criminal charges alleging his involvement in a cover-up to obstruct the Justice Department's investigation into his handling of classified documents. The charges reveal a more central role for Trump than previously known, strengthening the case against him and undermining potential defenses. The allegations include attempts to delete surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago and hide records from investigators. Trump's claims of being persecuted and attempts to intimidate prosecutors may not hold up in court. The charges come as Trump awaits possible additional indictments related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
