WASHINGTON -- There have been many cases where people have gone to prison for mishandling classified documents. The difference for former President Donald Trump, in the eyes of Sen. Josh Hawley, is that Trump used to be president.
On Wednesday, a former FBI analyst in Dodge City, Kansas, was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for keeping more than 300 documents at her home over the course of more than 12 years at the bureau. She kept them on hard drives, CDs and paper documents. She allegedly had information about Al Qaeda members and activity in Africa.
Former President Donald Trump allegedly kept more than 300 documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after leaving office. He kept them in boxes in a ballroom, in a storage closet and in a bathroom, according to prosecutors. He had top secret information about the U.S. nuclear program and the defense capabilities of the U.S. and foreign countries.
