DETROIT — A majority of likely Michigan voters believe former President Donald Trump broke the law when he took classified documents from the White House to his Florida resort, according to a new statewide poll commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV.
The survey of 600 likely voters, conducted by the Lansing-based Glengariff Group, found nearly 55% of respondents said they thought Trump committed a crime when he took around 100 classified documents — some containing sensitive national security secrets, according to the U.S. Department of Justice — from the White House to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach when he left office.
"This isn't just: 'Did he do something I didn't agree with,'" said pollster Richard Czuba, founder of Glengariff group. "We need to stop, step back and say, 'There's a clear majority of Michiganders who think a former president broke the law.' That's a really big deal."
