Former President Donald Trump was hit with new charges on Thursday in connection with his handling of classified documents after he left office. The charges were filed by a special counsel in Florida, and they include obstruction of justice and willful retention of national defense information.

Trump is also accused of conspiring with a Mar-a-Lago employee to delete security footage that showed him destroying classified documents. The employee, Carlos De Oliveira, has also been charged with obstruction of justice.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and he called the charges “baseless” in a statement on Truth Social. He said that the documents were not classified, and that he was “fully cooperating” with the investigation.

The new charges are the latest in a series of legal troubles for Trump. He is also facing a criminal investigation in New York, and he is the subject of several civil lawsuits.

The new charges against Trump have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have said that they are a sign that Trump is finally being held accountable for his actions, while others have said that the charges are politically motivated.

Former President Barack Obama said that the charges against Trump were “serious” and that they “should be taken seriously.” He said that “no one is above the law,” and that “we should all be held accountable for our actions.”

Former Vice President Mike Pence said that he was “deeply troubled” by the charges against Trump. He said that “the American people deserve to know the truth about what happened,” and that “no one is above the law.”

The new charges against Trump are likely to continue to be a source of controversy. It remains to be seen whether the charges will lead to a conviction, but they have certainly put Trump’s legal troubles back in the spotlight.
