There’s been a twist in the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents after he left office.

Sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times a “previously unknown federal grand jury in Florida has recently started hearing testimony in the case.”

The revelation comes after a separate grand jury collecting testimony in Washington went quiet.

The case likely now focuses on potential violations of the Espionage Act, specifically whether Trump showed off national security documents to people at his Mar-A-Lago resort.

Legal experts said there could be a number of reasons a new grand jury was launched in Miami, including accessibility to witnesses and targets.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is leading the inquiry and has kept the case out of public view.

Fortunately, despite all the damage, there are no reports of injuries.

Random Florida Fact

There is one state park in Florida where the public can book a tour and explore a network of huge, airy limestone caves: the Florida Caverns in Marianna.

Ducking into these subterranean caverns reveals stalagmites and stalactites.

According to local legends, a group of teenagers were picnicking in one of the main caverns and discovered a hidden chamber with a mysterious old man sleeping on the floor.

The man spoke with a strange accent and told the bewildered picnickers he’d been sleeping for 100 years before bolting from the cave, never to be seen again!
