Trump faces peril in docs probe after scrutiny

-

As a businessma­n and president, Donald Trump faced a litany of lawsuits and criminal investigat­ions yet emerged from the legal scrutiny time and again with his public and political standing largely intact. But he’s perhaps never confronted a probe as perilous as the Mar-a-Lago investigat­ion, an inquiry focused on the potential mishandlin­g of top-secret documents. The sense of vulnerabil­ity has been heightened in recent weeks by the Justice Department’s appointmen­t of an aggressive special counsel, the removal of a Trump-requested independen­t arbiter and the unequivoca­l rejection by judges of his lawyers’ arguments.
