and charges him for this will that in any way prevent him from being charged for the multiple other crimes he has committed ? And if somehow he is not convicted will that prevent him from being charged for the multiple other crimes he has committed ?

(11,098 posts)It is not clear Trump can be charged with any violations involving classified documents.
A President is the ultimate consumer of intelligence. Moreover, a President is the ultimate decision maker on what is and is not classified. A President can declassify any document or information on their own unbridled authority.
A good argument can be made that if a President decides to send classified documents to their private residence, they have thereby declassified the documents.
