Trump is accused of breaking seven laws and charged with 37 felony counts, each related to his retention of hundreds of classified government documents, according to an indictment unsealed Friday.

The indictment accuses Trump of having illegally retained documents that detail some of the U.S.'s most closely guarded secrets, shared their contents with people without proper security clearance and stored them in insecure locations.

The charges are the culmination of the federal government's multiyear efforts to retrieve the documents from Trump's private residence in Palm Beach, Florida, which the indictment also alleges he tried to obstruct.

Trump has insisted that he did nothing wrong. The indictment "will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country," Trump told a gathering of Georgia Republicans on Saturday.

Here's a closer look at the origins of the investigation and what's next:

From Pennsylvania Avenue to Mar-a-Lago

Weeks before he left the White House, Trump and his aides packed his personal belongings, including letters, cards and "hundreds of classified documents," into boxes, according to the indictment.

They then transported the boxes to Mar-a-Lago — Trump’s golf club and new residence — and at one point stored them in a ballroom and a shower, among other locations, according to the indictment.

Some of the boxes contained classified documents that detail sensitive U.S. defense information, including the U.S.'s possible points of vulnerability to a foreign military attack, the country's potential plan to retaliate against such an attack and information about U.S. nuclear programs, the indictment alleges.

Prosecutors say Mar-a-Lago hosted events for “tens of thousands of members and guests” after Trump left the White House and was not an approved location to store classified documents, which the indictment says are "owned by" the U.S. government.

Trump has claimed that he declassified the documents before he left the White House. But the indictment argues that Trump knew his administration did not complete the accepted declassification process, and it accuses Trump of having shown the documents to people without security clearance, including a book author.

The indictment, which does not name the author, includes a transcript of the July 2021 conversation Trump had with the writer about a classified military document described as a “plan of attack” against another country. The conversation, which the indictment says was recorded with Trump's knowledge, was first reported by CNN.

“See as president, I could have declassified” the document, Trump told the book author, according to the transcript. "Now I can’t."

“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump said.

A two-year investigation

In May 2021, the National Archives began asking Trump and his staff to return all missing presidential records, according to email communications between the archives and Trump's lawyers that were later made public.
 
Two of Trump’s aides returned 15 boxes of records to the National Archives eight months later, in January 2022. The Archives soon determined that 14 of the boxes contained classified documents and referred their discovery to the Justice Department, the indictment says.

The FBI opened a criminal investigation in March 2022, and a grand jury issued a subpoena in May that required Trump to return all remaining classified documents in his possession, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Trump tried to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations by furnishing only some of the subpoenaed documents, even as he said he was cooperating with the grand jury's demand.

Trump also suggested that his attorney should "hide or destroy" the subpoenaed documents, and he instructed Walt Nauta — his personal aide, who also faces federal charges — to move and conceal boxes of classified documents from the FBI, the grand jury and Trump's own attorney, the indictment said.

Investigators say they obtained security video in July depicting Trump's aides moving boxes of classified documents. The FBI obtained a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago, and in August it found 11 more sets of documents on the property, including some labeled “SCI,” which stands for highly classified “sensitive compartmented information."
