Bradley P. Moss, a partner at the Washington, DC law office of Mark S. Zaid who specializes in national security cases, says defeated former president Donald Trump will be indicted.

In an opinion piece for the Daily Beast on Aug. 27, 2022, Moss said “I have finally seen enough. Donald Trump will be indicted by a federal grand jury. You heard me right: I believe Trump will actually be indicted for a criminal offense.”

Moss argued that “even with all its redactions, the probable cause affidavit published today by the magistrate judge in Florida makes clear to me three essential points: (1) Trump was in unauthorized possession of national defense information, namely properly marked classified documents; (2) He was put on notice by the US Government that he was not permitted to retain those documents at Mar-a-Lago, and;(3) He continued to maintain possession of the documents (and allegedly undertook efforts to conceal them in different places throughout the property) up until the FBI finally executed a search warrant earlier this month.”

“That is the ball game, folks. Absent some unforeseen change in factual or legal circumstances, I believe there is little left for the Justice Department to do but decide whether to wait until after the midterms to formally seek the indictment from the grand jury. The cruelest irony for Trump is that it never needed to be this way… If he had fully cooperated at that point, and returned all of the records to NARA last year, this likely never would have become a criminal matter. DOJ would have declined to take any action, notwithstanding the existence of the classified records, and it would have been a ‘no harm, no foul’ situation. Just another minor story in the Trump saga of incompetence,” Moss concluded.
