Updated: A “little-noted” case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court may have changed the special counsel’s calculus on where to bring charges against former President Donald Trump, according to a blog post by Just Security.

Much has been written in the past 24 hours about where charges against Donald Trump would be brought with respect to the classified documents case.

Special counsel Jack Smith could charge Trump under the Espionage Act in his classified documents probe. That doesn't mean Trump was spying for a foreign government.

A team of former federal prosecutors, defense counsel, and other legal experts drafted a "model prosecution memo" for the potential case of United States vs. Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation.

Must the president follow any specific procedures when declassifying government information? The answer is a resounding no.

"Based on the publicly available information to date, a powerful case exists for charging Trump," former prosecutors and defense attorneys wrote in the memo.

"This is squarely an Espionage Act case," said Ryan Goodman, formerly of the Department of Defense. "Former President Trump will be charged."
