CNN — 

The remarkable new charges brought against former President Donald Trump in the federal classified documents case are absolutely necessary. Already facing 37 criminal charges, Trump now faces three additional charges – one count for willful retention of national defense information and two counts for obstruction of justice. He has denied all counts against him.

 

Many experts agree that special counsel Jack Smith already had a strong case. So, why would he bother to file a superseding indictment, adding a third defendant – Mar-a-Lago worker Carlos De Oliveira – at the risk of further delaying a trial that has already been pushed back by US District Judge Aileen Cannon?

A close look at the new charging document shows that the benefits to the special counsel and his case are well worth the costs in delay and otherwise.

Two parts of the original indictment – which alleged Trump violated the Espionage Act and obstructed justice – have been strengthened in the updated version. On the Espionage Act charges for retaining national defense materials, prosecutors have added an additional count based upon an Iran attack plan document that Trump allegedly shared with a book writing team at his Bedminster estate in July 2021.
