Former US President Donald Trump, aged 76, has been charged with mishandling classified documents following his departure from the White House. The media reports that Mr. Trump faces seven charges, including unauthorized retention of classified files. However, the specific charges have not yet been disclosed to the public. This marks the second indictment against Mr. Trump and represents the first time in American history that a former president is facing federal charges.
BREAKING: Trump charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice, per ABC. He will reportedly be arrested, booked and appear before a judge when he goes to the courthouse on Tuesday

Despite this legal development, legal experts suggest that the indictment will not prevent Mr. Trump from running for the presidency again in 2024. In a post on Truth Social, a platform associated with him, Mr. Trump declared his innocence and revealed that he has been summoned to appear at a federal court in Miami, Florida. He expressed surprise at the possibility of such actions being taken against a former US president and referred to it as a dark day for the country. Mr. Trump emphasized his commitment to "Make America Great Again" and proclaimed that despite the perceived decline of the United States, together they will overcome it.
According to Mr. Trump's attorney, Jim Trusty, the former president has received a summons document outlining the charges against him. These charges reportedly include conspiracy, false statements, obstruction of justice, and the illegal retention of classified documents under the Espionage Act. The Department of Justice declined to comment on the matter, and the indictment has not been made publicly available.
As preparations are underway, the Secret Service will coordinate with Mr. Trump's staff and security officers to plan his journey to the Miami courthouse. The details of the indictment, once revealed, will provide Mr. Trump with information about the alleged criminal offenses he is facing. Despite the legal proceedings, Mr. Trump's ambitions for a return to the White House remain intact, with his intention to participate in the 2024 presidential election.
