Sheldon Whitehouse: Trump in &#8220;Real Trouble&#8221; in Classified Documents Case<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) expressed his belief that former President Donald Trump is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sheldon-whitehouse-says-trump-in-real-trouble-as-jack-smith-begins-to-provide-evidence\/\" title=\"Sheldon Whitehouse warns Trump in deep trouble as Jack Smith presents evidence.\">facing significant legal challenges<\/a> in the classified documents case. This comes after a recent court filing by special counsel Jack Smith revealed the existence of additional evidence.<\/p>\n<p>According to Whitehouse, the court filing indicates that federal prosecutors have a strong case against Trump. Smith has already begun sharing the evidence, including multiple interviews of Trump, with the former president&#8217;s legal team.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt tells me that there\u2019s going to be a bad Christmas for the Trump lawyers as they open the different files of evidence and find out how awful the evidence is against their client,\u201d Whitehouse shared during an interview with MSNBC host Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it tells me that they want to get Trump\u2019s attention early by getting his lawyers the evidence that they need to be able to go to their client and say, \u2018Hey, you are in real trouble here.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury earlier this month on charges related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-director-calls-legit-criticism-of-corrupt-fbi-violence-but-we-werent-born-yesterday-2\/\" title=\"FBI Director Calls Legit Criticism Of Corrupt FBI \u2018Violence,\u2019 But We Weren\u2019t Born Yesterday\">mishandling classified documents<\/a> after his presidency. The indictment includes 37 charges, with 31 counts for the willful retention of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-rips-trump-for-doing-the-same-thing-the-obama-administration-did\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Rips Trump For Doing The Same Thing The Obama Administration Did\">national defense information<\/a>, which violates the Espionage Act.<\/p>\n<p>While a preliminary trial date has been set for August 14 by Judge Aileen Cannon, it is expected that Trump&#8217;s defense team will seek to delay the trial through pretrial motions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>The case originated from an FBI raid conducted at Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, last August. During the raid, the FBI seized hundreds of classified documents, but only 31 are being used in the case. Trump has also been prohibited from sharing the classified documents and can only view them in the presence of his attorneys.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has pleaded &#8220;not guilty&#8221; to all charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
