37-count indictment for mishandling classified documents, falsely claiming in a heated CNN interview with Dana Bash that Trump had the right to handle the documents “however he wants.” “If he wants to store material in a box in a bathroom, in a box on the stage, he can do that,” the representative from Ohio said.The indictment, filed by Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith, accuses Trump of violating the Espionage Act by holding on to classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago compound that included sensitive information on the United States’ nuclear stockpile and potential vulnerabilities to foreign attacks, among other national security topics.

The indictment also cites audio recordings of Trump sharing documents on a plan to attack Iran with people within his circle who did not have clearance to see them and acknowledging that he was not allowed to show them such files.
