A 37-count criminal indictment was revealed on Friday against former US President Donald Trump, accusing him of willfully retaining classified government records and conspiring to prevent their return to US officials. Among the many allegations, the indictment claims that Trump kept records containing national defense information at his Florida home after leaving the White House and even showed classified documents to others. The former president is further charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal and false statements and representations. DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith emphasized the importance of enforcing laws that protect national defense information, which are critical to the safety and security of the United States. If convicted, Trump faces a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison for the most serious charges. Trump’s arraignment is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, one day ahead of his 77th birthday.
