The 49-page federal indictment of former President Donald Trump lays out a stunning timeline of events.
The 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump was unsealed Friday, and photos capture how classified documents were allegedly stored after his presidency was over and he left the White House.The 49-page federal indictment of former 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.
After Jan. 20, 2021: Some boxes brought from the White House are stored on a stage in one of Mar-a-Lago's gilded ballrooms. A photo in the indictment shows boxes stacked on a stage.April 2021: Some boxes are moved into a bathroom and shower. A photo included in the indictment shows them stacked next to a toilet, a vanity and a trash can.
November 2021: Trump directs his executive assistant and "body man" Walt Nauta and another employee to start moving boxes from a storage room to his residence for him to review. Nauta is charged in the indictment as Trump's co-conspirator. The boxes are found to contain 197 documents with classified markings, including 69 marked confidential, 98 secret and 30 top secret. Some documents have markings suggesting they include information from highly sensitive human sources or the collection of electronic "signals" authorized by a court under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
May 10, 2022: The National Archives informs Trump's lawyers that it will provide the FBI access to the boxes as soon as May 12. Nauta also lies when asked whether he knew where Trump's boxes were stored before they went to his residence and whether they'd been in a secured or locked location, prosecutors say. His reply, according to the indictment: "I wish, I wish I could tell you. I don't know. I don't - I honestly just don't know."
Trump tells investigations he's "an open book," according to the indictment. Another Trump lawyer, acting as his custodian of records, provides investigators a sworn certification that prosecutors say falsely claimed they had conducted a "diligent search" of boxes moved from the White House and "any and all responsive documents" were turned over.
The Justice Department says in a subsequent court filing that the results call "into serious question" earlier representations by Trump's legal team that they had conducted a "diligent search" and that no classified documents remained.
