The indictment against former US President Donald Trump in the classified documents probe was unsealed on Friday.
Trump faces 37 counts in the case, and stands accused of taking secret documents on nuclear and weapons programs.
This marks the first time a former president has faced federal charges.
Walt Nauta, an aide to Trump, was also indicted in special counsel Jack Smith”s investigation into the mishandling of classified documents.
CNN reported on Friday that Nauta”s involvement in moving boxes of classified material at Trump”s Florida resort had been the subject of scrutiny by investigators. Nauta, with the help of a maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago, moved the boxes before the FBI executed a search warrant on the Palm Beach property last August.
