1. Trump warns of 'problems' if he's indicted over classified documents

Former President Donald Trump warned on a conservative radio show Thursday that there will be "problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we've never seen before" if he is criminally charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House. When conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt said critics might say Trump was inciting violence, the former president said: "That's not inciting — I'm just saying what my opinion is. I don't think the people of this country would stand for it." FBI agents searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on Aug. 8 and seized numerous classified and top-secret documents among other papers that should have been returned to the National Archives.
