I mean , I hope to Christ, but how can he know that, and not indicate where that info comes from.

(28,854 posts)8. From NYT:
Trump IndictedTrump Is Charged in Classified Documents Inquiry
The seven counts against the former president include conspiracy to obstruct, willful retention of documents and false statements, according to people familiar with the indictment. He said he would surrender to the authorities on Tuesday.

(25,451 posts)9. The charges are under seal.
ABC claims to know what they are, but I'm a bit skeptical that they have all of the info.
We'll find out for sure when they're unsealed.
