Trump, who is atop the 2024 GOP presidential primary field, was charged Thursday with an additional count of willful retention of national defense information and two new obstruction counts as part of a new "superseding" indictment out of Smith's investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records.
Trump was indicted in June on charges stemming from Smith’s investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records after his presidency. Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements.
"It's election interference at the highest level," Trump told Fox News Digital just after he learned of the latest indictment. "They’re harassing my company, they’re harassing my family and by far, least importantly of all, they’re harassing me."
Trump told Fox News Digital that "the charges are ridiculous, and they know it better than anyone."
