The historic, 37-count federal indictment of Donald Trump accusing the former president of taking some of the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트s national security secrets out of the White House and not returning them when asked has led some of his defenders to wonder why other former leaders 바카라 게임 웹사이트 such as Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Hillary Clinton 바카라 게임 웹사이트 found to possess restricted documents after they left office have not also been charged.

And indeed, as we know, hundreds of documents marked classified were found at Mar-a -Lago after, supposedly, the former president had complied with that subpoena and turned over all documents marked classified."
