Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
- On Friday, federal prosecutors unsealed a 49-page indictment of former President Donald Trump detailing his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. The indictment includes numerous federal charges—31 counts “related to withholding national defense information, 5 related to concealing possession of classified documents, and 2 false statements”, according to The New York Times. In a statement made during his press conference, special counsel Jack Smith defended the Trump indictment, explaining: “We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.” He did not take questions from the press.

- According to a recent poll, a majority of Republicans said they would still vote for Donald Trump in a general election against Joe Biden—even if the former president is convicted of a crime.
- While appearing on ABC’s This Week, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said it was “absolutely ridiculous” that former President Donald Trump had been charged under the Espionage Act. Sen. Graham noted that Bill Clinton—host George Stephanopoulos’ former boss—famously mishandled classified documents and yet was never charged with any crimes. Is there a double standard?
- While appearing on CNN, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy implored the media to “restore journalism in this country” and to properly question whether elements of the federal government have become politicized.
