Donald Trump’s indictment this week on 34 charges of falsifying business documents may have dominated the news, but it’s just one of a series of ongoing investigations into actions by Trump. All of those other investigations—in New York state, in Fulton County, Georgia, and especially before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.—are potentially far more serious than what’s happening right now in Manhattan.
One of the two investigations being conducted simultaneously by special counsel Jack Smith concerns Trump’s handling of classified information, which he took with him to Mar-a-Lago, refused to return, and lied about repeatedly. Among those documents were many that were highly classified, including some that were classified as Top Secret and a number that were flagged as “compartmented,” placing them at the very highest of possible classification. At least one document reportedly related to the nuclear program of a foreign power, rumored to be Iran.
Last month, a federal judge ordered Trump's attorney Evan Corcoran to testify before the grand jury investigating Trump’s actions in taking and holding these documents. Now it looks as if Corcoran is far from the only witness with something interesting to tell the jury. According to CBS News, several Secret Service agents are set to testify before the jury.
What they have to say may reveal details of how Trump tried to cover up his continued control of classified documents and possibly who else has gotten a peek.
