The bombshell indictment against Donald Trump has been unsealed, with the former president facing criminal charges in relation to hiding over 100 classified documents in surprising rooms of his Florida estate.
The charging papers alleges the former United States president took steps to retain sensitive material, which he knew he could not take, after he lost the election in 2020.
Some of the boxes were stored in the residence's White and Gold Ballroom, where events and gatherings often took place, between January to March 2021.Another photo revealed other boxes of sensitive material stacked up in a bathroom. Mr Nauta later in December would find"several" of boxes had tipped over on the storage room floor, including one document marked:"SECRET/REL TO USA, FVEY."
Trump's White House aide, who is also named in the indictment, found two boxes of classified documents spilled over in the storage room floor where the material was stored.
