Trump haphazardly stashed military secrets throughout his home, indictment says
POLITICO A federal indictment unsealed Friday charges former President Donald Trump with 37 felony counts stemming from an investigation into the presence of a trove of classified information at his Florida estate and other locations after he left office.
Prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith allege that Trump arranged to remove a massive collection of highly sensitive classified material much of which consists of intelligence about the defense and weapons capabilities of the United States and foreign countries to his private residence as he left the White House in January 2021.
He had aides stash those records in boxes that also included personal items and ordered them shipped to his estate in Mar-a-Lago at the end of his tenure, according to the indictment. The 49-page charging document also says that on at least two occasions, Trump showed classified records to visitors without security clearances at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey including the map of a military operation to a representative of his political committee.
