The federal indictment against former President Donald Trump is a stunning document that chronicles allegations of mishandling sensitive material, as well as efforts to conceal records and obstruct investigators. The indictment comprises 49 pages and presents a timeline of events that ultimately led to 37 criminal charges against Trump. According to the indictment, Trump directed the movement of storage boxes containing newspaper clippings, photos, letters, classified documents, and other mementos from his time in office to Mar-a-Lago as he left the White House in January 2021. These boxes included hundreds of classified documents he was not authorized to possess as a former president, and several federal laws govern the handling of classified and sensitive documents that are not authorized. Despite repeated demands from the National Archives and Records Administration to turn over presidential records, Trump directed employees to move boxes into a bathroom and shower, as well as a highly accessible area on the ground floor of Mar-a-Lago, where they were kept for months. Trump also allegedly showed military plans of attack and classified maps related to foreign military operations to individuals without clearance. When National Archives officials found that several documents were missing, they demanded their return, leading to an FBI investigation that culminated in a grand jury subpoena for all classified materials in Trump’s possession. Trump’s lawyers initially asked for an extension to review the materials, citing privilege, but ultimately, additional classified documents were found and turned over to the FBI. Throughout the process, Trump reportedly expressed reluctance to comply with the demands of investigators, making repeated attempts to conceal or remove documents.
