Former US President Donald Trump has found himself in the spotlight as he has been charged with a federal crime. The grand jury findings supported these charges, making Trump the first President to face such a situation. Let’s look at the details of the charges and what to expect during the upcoming trial.
The exact charges and their wording:
Tuesday will be a key day when the exact wording of the charges against Trump is expected to be revealed. The media and his lawyers are reporting a seven-count case in which he is accused of violating the Espionage Act (Trump was not necessarily a spy himself, but the law contains classified documents provisions), obstruction of justice and making false statements in a federal investigation.
Legal process and expected steps:
Tuesday will also be the day Trump appears before a federal magistrate judge. He will be arrested for fingerprints and DNA samples. The judge will explain his rights, charges and ask about guilt. A decision will then be made on the measure of restraint, which may be determined by a designated judge or magistrate judge. Given the charges under the Espionage and National Security Threats Act, options range from arrest to house arrest. However, it is worth considering that Trump is a former President and a current candidate, and the threat to national security alleged by the prosecution has already been eliminated.
Secret files in the court file and their connection with Trump:
The five cases filed in federal court for the Southern District of Florida are titled “Sealed v Sealed.” These cases represent confidential information and their details remain unknown. Of these five cases, two are consecutive numbers, which could indicate there are two to five defendants in the Trump case. However, it is not yet clear whether these cases are directly related to Trump and his accusations.
Limitations of video recording in courts:
When facing charges and awaiting court proceedings, it is worth noting that video recording of proceedings is prohibited in federal courts. Therefore, it is not expected that there will be video footage of the trial. However, audio recording of the trial may be available so that the public can get an idea of the progress of the case and the presentations of the parties.
