It was through Truth Social that Trump not only it was said "an innocent man"but he hinted that this accusation comes when he is at the forefront of the polls to lead the country again in 2024.
“I never thought it was possible that something like this could happen to a former president of the United States.who received far more votes than any sitting president in our country's history and currently leads by far all candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, in polls for the 2024 presidential election. I am an innocent man!", wrote.

From a few months ago, special counsel Jack Smith is leading the investigation of classified documents found in Trump's mansion that the FBI recovered after the former president refused to return the files as required by law.
Trump has repeatedly argued that he had the right to take any files he wanted from the White House under the Presidential Records ActIn addition, he pointed out that he had a standing order to declassify everything he took out of the Oval Office.
However, a couple of days ago CNN reported that the investigators leading the case had in their possession a tape where the former president could be heard say that he had in his possession documents that were not declassified about Iran.
