Trump allies comparing the case he faces now with Hillary Clinton's email scandal in 2016 overlook many legal and factual differences.
WASHINGTON -- As former President Donald Trump prepares for a momentous court appearance Tuesday on charges related to the hoarding of top-secret documents, Republican allies are amplifying, without evidence, claims that he is the target of a political prosecution.
FBI investigators would ultimately conclude that Clinton sent and received emails containing classified information on that unclassified system, including information classified at the top-secret level. The material that Trump retained, prosecutors say, related to American nuclear programs, weapons and defense capabilities of the United States and foreign countries and potential vulnerabilities to an attack -- information that, if exposed, could jeopardize the safety of the military and human sources.
What separates the Clinton and Trump cases? A lot, but two important differences are in willfulness and obstruction. The indictment accuses him, for instance, of suggesting that a lawyer hide documents demanded by a Justice Department subpoena or falsely represent that all requested records had been turned over, even though more than 100 remained.
