Trump Indictment Unsealed — Alleges He Admitted Documents in His Possession Were ‘Highly Confidential’

The indictment in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against former President Donald Trump has been unsealed.

The decision to unseal the indictment on Friday comes after Trump said he had been charged for his handling of classified documents.

Smith hit Trump with 37 charges in the case, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, and one count related to making false statements.

The filing states, “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 plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.”

“The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods,” it added.

Trump allegedly suggested his attorney “falsely represent to the FBI” he did not have documents the government sought in a subpoena.
