This time, it's about taking classified documents home with him from the White House two years ago, but Donald Trump is in trouble again. The former president claims he has the right to take documents with him as if they were personal possessions, but in this case, these classified documents were actually not allowed to leave Washington for any reason, something Trump doesn't publicly want to comprehend.
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell & Rachel Maddow break it down:
Actor-turned-pundit Michael Rapaport (ex-The War at Home) recorded a video on his phone and invoked some Britney Spears lyrics. The usual online commentators (i.e. Glenn Kirschner, Brian Tyler Cohen, David Pakman) are weighing in. They all know that Trump will use this to do what he does best, grift off his supporters so he doesn't have to spend any money himself.
But, why wait until Tuesday? Trump is in New Jersey this weekend, and giving him four days to concoct more excuses to grift shouldn't be happening, unless his birthday is this weekend. If you've seen what's been happening here at home, local GOPers don't wait. They own their situations, and go to court at first opportunity.
Personally, the only gifts Trump should get for his birthday are these:
A week's worth of orange prison jumpsuits.
A case of Depends.
A baby rattle.
He's going to need them when he goes to either a country club prison or a psychiatric hospital.
Update, 2:38 pm (ET): The indictment has been unsealed, and Trump faces 31 counts of violating the Espionage Act, 37 charges in all. The Department of Justice will issue a statement later this afternoon.

Donald Trump was never really President of the United States.
Oh, he may have held the title.
He may have lived in the White House.
He may have made all the free trips around the world.
He may have gotten his picture taken thousands of times.
He may have gotten to push people around more than he ever did in his "business" careers.
But in all the time he held the title, Donald Trump never learned how to be President of the United States.
He simply never bothered to learn how to do the many jobs that a President has to do.
70+ years of being enabled - by his family, by his political cronies, by his media promoters - gave him the false notion that all he had to do was show up and start giving orders ... and that would be that.
Well, now Donald Trump is in the history books - in disgrace.
And We the People of the United States will never be rid of him.
Not now - and not ever.
The recovery will take a very, very long time.
I hope we're all up to it.
He treated it like it was just another business holding. We all know that. He needs to realize right here and now that his facade has crumbled. The oldest spoiled brat in the world won't make it to the start of the primary season.
