New analysis examines DOJ’s decision on whether or not to charge Trump in Mar-a-Lago secret documents case
.
A new analysis is examining the possibility of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) bringing charges against former President Donald Trump in connection with the department’s classified documents investigation.
NBC News’ Ken Dilanian began with a brief overview of legal circumstances involving former U.S. military command executive assistant, Asia Janay Lavarello who pleaded guilty to taking classified documents from her job.
Hawaii U.S. Attorney Claire Connors weighed in with details about the charges brought against Lavarello. “Government employees authorized to access classified information should face imprisonment if they misuse that authority in violation of criminal law,” said Connors. “Such breaches of national security are serious violations … and we will pursue them.”

Dilanian went on to explain how Lavarello’s case is relatively similar to Trump’s. “Cases like Lavarello’s are a major part of the calculus for Justice Department officials as they decide whether to move forward with charges against the former president over the classified documents found in his Florida home, current and former Justice Department officials tell NBC News,” Dilanian wrote.
