Embarrassing Defeat for The Department of Justice in the Mar-a-Lago Case

The Department of Justice suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Mar-a-Lago documents case against President Donald Trump on Friday.

In a case that was launched prior to the midterm elections and spurred allegations that Donald Trump had stolen “nuclear secrets” from the U.S. government while President, the Department of Justice is now dredging up ‘process crimes’ in the course of the investigation and court proceedings.

On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that the U.S. Justice Department had asked a federal judge to hold Trump and his legal team in contempt of court for not complying with a subpoena ordering him to turn over all classified documents.
