Another shows boxes that spilled over in a storage room, including a document marked “SECRET/REL TO USA, FVEY,” which means information releasable only to members of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - A driver going the wrong way on a highway crashed head-on into a car carrying five Bowling Green State University sorority sisters who were going out of town ahead of spring break, killing herself and three of the students and leaving two other students injured. Photographs in the indictment show boxes stacked on a stage in a ballroom as well as in a bathroom. In one conversation with his lawyers, Trump said: “I don’t want anybody looking through my boxes.” Trump also asked one of his lawyers if it would be better “if we just told them we don’t have anything here,” the indictment says. In addition to the audio recording, prosecutors also relied upon text messages between Trump employees, photos of boxes of documents stored in various rooms throughout Mar-a-Lago and details about conversations between Trump and his lawyers that were memorialized by one of them. Trump acknowledged that he shouldn’t be showing the map to the person and told him not to get too close, prosecutors allege. “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret,” he said, according to the indictment.Ī few months later, Trump showed a representative of his political action committee a classified map of a foreign country while discussing a military operation in the country that was not going well, the indictment says. He also says that he could have declassified the document if he was still president. Trump acknowledged during that meeting that the document was “highly confidential” and “secret information,” the indictment says. Trump told the pair “look what I found” and showed them what he described as a senior military official’s “plan of attack,” according to an audio recording of that conversation obtained by investigators. The court papers detail a meeting Trump had in July 2021 with a writer and publisher about an upcoming book. The indictment alleges Trump showed classified documents to people who didn’t have security clearances on two occasions. IS TRUMP ACCUSED OF SHARING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION? Neither Trump nor Nauta told the former president’s lawyers that Nauta had moved any of the storage room contents, the indictment says. Nauta had a brief phone call with Trump before returning those boxes, the indictment says.
He then returned “approximately 30 boxes” to the storage room on June 2 - the same day Trump’s legal team came to examine the boxes and search for classified documents to return to the government, the indictment says.
The indictment says that, at Trump’s direction, Nauta moved about 64 boxes of documents from a Mar-a-Lago storage room to the former president’s residence in May 2022. It also involved moving boxes to hide the secret documents from Trump’s lawyer, and suggesting that Trump’s lawyer hide or destroy documents that investigators were seeking. The conspiracy allegation included a suggestion from Trump that his lawyer falsely tell investigators that the former president didn’t have any more classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The indictment accuses Trump and Nauta of conspiring to hide the secret documents from the grand jury, which in May 2022 issued a subpoena for him to turn them over. WHAT IS THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE? Being a former president would also likely be a major consideration in any sentencing. But judges have discretion and, if convicted, first-time offenders rarely get anywhere near the maximum sentence. The most serious charges carry potential prison sentences of up to 20 years each. The false statement charges stem from Trump causing his lawyer to tell the FBI that no more classified documents were at Mar-a-Lago - but then the FBI later found more than 100 documents during an August 2022 search. The conspiracy charges deal with Trump’s alleged attempts to hide documents from his lawyer or federal investigators.
