(The Center Square) â Former President Donald Trumpâs indictment was made public Friday. The 49-page document appears to lay out nearly 40 federal counts against Mr. Trump for his handling of classified documents and his alleged refusal to hand them over to federal officials until the eventual raid on his Florida estate. News of the indictment sent shockwaves through the political world and left Republicans taking sides for or against the former president, who is also the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race. âAs a result of Trumpâs retention of classified documents after his presidency and his refusal to return them, hundreds of classified documents were not recovered by the United States government until 2022,â the indictment says, adding that Mr. Trump kept documents from a range of federal groups, including the CIA, FBI, Department of Defense, National Security Agency, and more. The former president has repeatedly claimed that he had the authority as president to automatically declassify documents, but the indictment says Mr. Trump did not have the right to hold on to those documents, saying they were still classified. âTrump was not authorized to possess or retain classified documents,â it reads. The indictment also makes the point that Mr. Trump kept the documents in insecure areas where staff and others could have accessed them. The indictment further alleges that Mr. Trump twice showed classified documents to others well after he was no longer president. From the indictment: In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (âThe Bedminster Clubâ), Please see INDICTMENT on A8
