The former president is suspected of violating the Espionage Act, but it is doubtful whether the latest development will change his intention to run • Support for him from his fans is expected to strengthen • Meanwhile, the winds in the US are turbulent • The vice president responded: "I have full confidence in the Department of Justice" • Republican Senator Rick Scott : "The public needs to know what information the judge had"


The raid on the estate of former President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago in Florida earlier this week continues to evoke echoes throughout the American political spectrum, but especially among Trump's supporters who have been waiting for the last few months for an expected announcement about a re-run for the most powerful position in the world.

However, the former president has now entered into the deepest legal entanglement with a violation of the Espionage Act as well as a treason clause hovering over him.

It is doubtful whether the current incident will affect Trump at the level of intentions, since the former president is known for his blunt style and "go against the grain" tactics, but what is certain is that among his target audience, the belief that there is political persecution by the "establishment" during his tenure and later after he left the The White House after the election loss, just go and get stronger.

In the meantime, the reactions to the affair continue to arrive non-stop.

US Vice President Kamala Harris said: "As a former prosecutor I am not talking about anyone else's case, but I have full confidence that the Justice Department will do with the facts what the law requires," said US Vice President Kamala Harris in the evening (Saturday) ) in response to a reporter's question on the subject.

In addition, she also called the attacks on law enforcement officers "unacceptable."

Rick Scott, a Republican senator from the state of Florida, said in an interview with "Fox News": "The American public needs to better understand why they did it, what information the judge had and why the judge made the decision. There are a lot of unanswered questions here, and they are hurting themselves , and they are harming this great country."

As you may recall, the US court allowed the publication of the search warrant for Trump's estate this weekend, according to which the former president was suspected of violating the Espionage Act. Trump said that "all the information was classified and stored securely." According to him, the FBI "should not have caught "Nothing, they could accept it without breaking in to play politics and break in."

In the raid on his estate, 20 boxes of documents were found.

11 documents were classified as "top secret".

FBI agents took more than 30 items, including 20 boxes of documents, binders with photos, a handwritten note and the pardon for Trump associate Roger Stone.

It is also included in the information material collected about the French president.
