Trump's future hangs in the balance: Possible charges as Classified Documents Probe may be announced after Memorial Day

The difference is Trump was President and had declassifying authority. All Presidents engage with NARA after leaving office to negotiate which docs go there.
NARA engages with presidents before leaving office, not after. Except for Trump, who didn’t engage hardly at all.

NARA has never had to ask a president to return government documents. That’s only Trump.
 
Do you guys think Ron DeSantis will take advantage of the situation and paint Trump as a criminal if Trump is charged?
Bloomberg News has the development:

"Special Counsel Jack Smith is wrapping up his investigation into former president Donald Trump’s refusal to return classified documents after his election defeat and is poised to announce possible criminal charges in the days or weeks after Memorial Day, according to people familiar with the matter.

As Smith’s team winds down the classified documents probe, a separate inquiry into efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election continues, according to four people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing a confidential inquiry.

Trump’s associates believe the Justice Department’s investigation into documents taken from the White House after he left office is close to the end, said one of the people, but they don’t know if charges will be brought against the former president or anyone else.

Any indictments resulting from the roughly year-long investigation must be approved by Attorney General Merrick Garland and a federal grand jury.
