Trump Ridicules His 31 Charges Under Espionage Act

Mediaite reports:

Trump addressed Georgia’s state Republican Convention on Saturday, just a day after special counsel Jack Smith’s 37-count criminal indictment against the ex-president was unsealed and revealed to include 31 counts of violations of the Espionage Act.

“In this whole fake indictment, they don’t even once mention the Presidential Records Act, he said. “Because they want to use something called the Espionage Act.”

“Doesn’t that sound terrible?” said Trump, adopting a mocking tone. “Ohhh, espionage! We got a box. I got a box. The espionage! The Espionage Act of 1917. I think it was put in there about World War One. Boxes.”
