Because of the remarkably sensitive nature of the documents the former president retained, and the shockingly insecure locations where they were held and transported (“in a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room”), there are also potentially grave implications for U.S. national security. It is those national security implications, as evidenced in particular by the 31 counts lodged under the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)), which we briefly lay out here.

National Security Implications of Trump’s Indictment: A Damage Assessment
The former president's retention of highly classified intelligence has potentially grave implications for U.S. national security.

“The classified documents Trump stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and to plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.”
This story said 38 counts, but most other reports say 37 counts. The Manhattan case involves 34 counts. Do we have any bets on the outcome of the total 73 counts? Has there been many cases, with this amount of investigation, to have all the counts thrown out?
“In my administration I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information, no one will be above the law.”

4 years I heard former President Trump call for Hillary Clinton to be indicted and locked up and couldn't get it done. President Biden, didn't say a word about the Trump investigation and the Former President gets indicted. Those who asked how come, guess a conman sold you a bill of goods he couldn't deliver.
