However, their \u200dpresidential pitches may be overshadowed by\u2064 the \u2062fresh charges brought\u200b against Trump in the federal government&#8217;s investigation \u2064into classified documents at \u2064his\u200d Mar-a-Lago \u2062residence.<\/p>\n<h3>A Burning Issue: Biden and Democrats Combat Extreme Heat Across the\u2064 US<\/h3>\n<p>Presidential \u200bcandidates such as \u200bTrump, Gov.

Each candidate will deliver \u200dremarks at the event.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u2063 Trump was\u200b hit\u200d with \u2062three additional charges \u2063on\u2064 Thursday by special counsel\u2063 Jack Smith in the investigation into his retention of\u200d classified documents after his presidency. A new superseding indictment alleges\u200d that\u200b Trump attempted to delete \u200dsurveillance footage \u2063at his Florida \u2063property. Smith also named Carlos De\u200d Oliveria, an employee at Mar-a-Lago, as a third defendant. Trump is accused of being a co-conspirator in\u2063 the deletion of footage and \u200dhas been slapped \u2062with another Espionage Act charge.<\/p>\n<p>Despite previous indictments and target letters, Trump&#8217;s support among Republicans remains strong, with many expressing distrust in\u2062 the government, particularly the Justice Department. A June Reuters\/Ipsos poll \u200brevealed\u2064 that an \u200coverwhelming 81% of Republicans believed the initial 37 federal\u200b charges against Trump were politically motivated. This sentiment extends beyond \u2064Trump&#8217;s base, with \u2064approximately 30% to\u2063 35% of Republicans estimated \u2063to \u200dmake up his support.<\/p>\n<p>Following the\u2063 revelation of Smith&#8217;s target letter in the investigation into the\u200d Jan. \u20636 Capitol riot and efforts to overturn the 2020\u200d presidential election, Trump&#8217;s support in the primary\u200d battle has actually increased.
