Adding to the latest drama surrounding the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump has been indicted on seven counts in criminal case brought by the U.S. Justice Department, marking the first time a former president has faced federal charges.
The counts are said to include retaining classified documents under the Espionage Act, as well as conspiracy, false statements and obstruction of justice.
Trump was already indicted in a separate case back in April , though he has withstood many other controversies and probes, and could still run for president while indicted (and likely even if convicted).

Any big headlines surrounding Trump has generally led to movement , though the SPAC did receive a delisting notice last month from the Nasdaq.
