The 49-page federal indictment of former U.S. president Donald Trump lays out a stunning timeline of events, detailing allegations that he not only mishandled sensitive material, but also took steps to hide records and impede investigators.
Here are some of the key events leading to the 37 criminal charges against Trump, according to the indictment:: As Trump leaves the White House, he directs the movement of dozens of storage boxes to Mar-a-Lago, prosecutors say. The boxes, packed by Trump and his White House staff, contain newspaper clippings, letters, photos and other mementos from his time in office, but also hundreds of classified documents that, as a former president, he wasn't authorized to have.
: Trump allegedly shows a military "plan of attack" that he says is "highly confidential" to a writer interviewing him at his Bedminster property. Trump remarks, "as president I could have declassified it. ... Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret," according to the indictment, citing a recording of the interview.
Prior to the search, prosecutors say, Trump had Nauta move 64 boxes from the storage room to his residence. Of those, 30 were moved back to the storage room, leaving 34 boxes in Trump's residence and out of the lawyer's sight.: FBI agents and a Justice Department lawyer visit Mar-a-Lago to collect the 38 classified documents from Trump's lawyer. They are in a single accordion folder, double-wrapped in tape.
