Former President Donald Trump Indicted by Federal Grand Jury on Charges Stemming from Removal of Top-Secret Documents from White House

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges stemming from his removal of top-secret documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago social club in South Florida and his refusal to return them, even in defiance of a subpoena. Trump made the announcement Thursday during a CNN “town hall” appearance, claiming he had every right to take whatever documents he wanted when he left the White House.

In three posts to his account on Truth Social, Trump said attorneys with the Justice Department informed him he was indicted over the “boxes hoax” and he has been called to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday.

The indictment is a historic move that is likely to roil the ongoing 2024 presidential race. Trump said he never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any other president in history.

The indictment comes after months of speculation and rumors that Trump was under investigation for his handling of sensitive government documents. It is unclear what the charges are or what the potential consequences could be.

The indictment is sure to be a major issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential race. Trump has already declared his intention to run for president again, and the indictment could be a major factor in the race. It remains to be seen how the indictment will affect the race and the outcome of the election.
