Former President Donald Trump is facing federal charges for his handling of classified documents, described as "damning" and "devastating" by former Attorney General William Barr and former National Security Adviser John Bolton. The charges are the first of their kind for a former president and involve violations of the Espionage Act, false statements, and obstruction of justice. Republican lawmakers are finding novel ways to defend Trump, while the investigation into possible election interference in Georgia continues. This is a historic moment for the United States with a lasting impact on the political landscape, and the outcome of the charges against Trump remains to be seen.
