Jack, good news: Donald Trump may get his comeuppance. A Florida grand jury indicted him on 37 charges of the Espionage Act—a very serious felony.
The bad news? The Trump-appointed judge already put him on pretrial release with no travel restrictions, because they determined that he is neither a flight risk nor a security risk.

Donald Trump stole classified secrets from the White House that detailed attack plans, and allegedly hid them from his own lawyers. We don't know if the feds recovered all of them.
Meanwhile, he has a private 757 jet that could allow him to leave the country—and he has ties to dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un who would love to access these documents.

Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 felony charges for violating the Espionage Act. After he pled not guilty on June 13, the judge put him on pretrial release and did not place any travel restrictions. Prosecutors said he is "not a flight risk." That is a big mistake.
Let us be clear. Trump left the White House with a mountain of classified documents detailing U.S. nuclear secrets, military vulnerabilities, and plans for retaliating in the event of an attack.
Federal prosecutors are arguing that he intentionally took the documents and intentionally left them at his Mar-a-Lago estate. He was caught on tape showing them to private citizens while admitting they had not been declassified. He reportedly moved boxes out of a storage room so that lawyers could not find them after they received a subpoena, and asked his lawyers to hide "really bad documents."
It is very possible—even probable—that Trump still retains some highly classified documents.

Trump, a man who attempted a coup after losing a presidential election, has a history of cozying up to foreign dictators like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and the Saudi royal family, all of whom have reason to desire such classified documents. This makes Trump a security risk.
Trump has access to a private 757 jet, and his passport has not been revoked. If the trial does not go well for him, he could easily evade the authorities, which makes him a flight risk.
Trump deserves a fair trial, but he is also not above the law. Most defendants in his situation would be held in custody, which proves that prosecutors are letting him off easy right now.
