Trump indicted on 37 federal counts out of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into classified records
Counts include willful retention of national defense information, obstruction of justice, and false statements
Brooke Singman
Former President Trump was indicted on 37 federal counts, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements, according to an unsealed copy of the indictment obtained by Fox News.
Special Counsel Jack Smith unsealed the indictment against the former president Friday.
Trump first announced he had been indicted on Thursday night. Trump told Fox News Digital he will plead not guilty.
The indictment states that Trump, as president, "had lawful access to the most sensitive classified documents and national defense information gathered and owned by the United States government, including information from the agencies that comprise the United States Intelligence Community and the United States Department of Defense."
"Over the course of his presidency, TRUMP gathered newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, photographs, official documents, and other materials in cardboard boxes that he kept in the White House," the indictment states. "Among the materials TRUMP stored in his boxes were hundreds of classified documents."
"The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack," the indictment states. "The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods."
The special counsel claims that Trump showed classified documents to others in 2021–once in July 2021 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey and once in August or September 2021.
"In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (The Bedminster Club), during an audio-recorded meeting with a writer, a publisher, and two members of his staff, none of whom possessed a security clearance, TRUMP showed and described a ‘plan of attack’ that TRUMP said was prepared for him by the Department of Defense and a senior military official. TRUMP told the individuals that the plan was ‘highly confidential’ and ‘secret,’" the indictment said. "TRUMP also said, ‘as president I could have declassified it,’ and, 'Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.'"
In August or September 2021, the special counsel alleges Trump "showed a representative of his political action committee who did not possess a security clearance a classified map related to a military operation and told the representative that he should not be showing it to the representative and that the representative should not get too close."
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

This is the man who caused the Lois Lerner catastrophe with the IRS. He went after Evangelicals and Great Americans of Faith. The United States had to apologize, and pay major damages for what this deranged lunatic did. He had a unanimous loss in the Supreme Court. His wife is a Trump Hater, just as he is a Trump Hater—a deranged “psycho” that shouldn’t be involved in any case having to do with “Justice,” other than to look at Biden as a criminal, which he is!

….Biden had records for years, totally unsecured, even stolen when he was a Senator. This is crazy! Just like Jack Smith, Lisa Monaco, and the man they sent to the D.A.’s Office, Matt Colangelo. It isn’t America anymore. Under the Presidential Records Act, I’m allowed to do all this. Under the Clinton Socks Case, the decision is clear. There was no crime, except for what the DOJ and FBI have been doing against me for years.

Biden moved his Boxes all over the place, including to Chinatown and up to his lawyer’s office in Boston. Why isn’t deranged Jack Smith looking at that? Also, I supplied them openly, and without question, security tape from Mar-a-Lago. I had nothing to hide, nor do I now. Nobody said I wasn’t allowed to look at the personal records that I brought with me from the White House. There’s nothing wrong with that….

Jim Jordan Reveals New Information on Trump Raid in Mar-a-Lago and Events Surrounding Indictment
By Jim Hoft Jun. 9, 2023 2:15 pm16 Comments
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) has shed light on several unusual aspects of the raid on the ex-President’s residence at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and events surrounding the bogus indictment.
Rep. Jordan pointed out that the department declined to indict former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified information and similarly did not indict Biden for his mismanagement of classified materials.

“The indictment creates, at the minimum, a serious appearance of a double standard and a miscarriage of justice—an impression that is only strengthened by allegations that a Biden Justice Department lawyer “inappropriately sought to pressure” a Trump-affiliated lawyer with the prospect of a judgeship,” Rep. Jordan wrote to Attorney General Garland.

He added, “Additional information recently obtained by the Committee about the Department’s execution of a search warrant on President Trump’s residence only reinforces our grave concerns that your reported actions are nothing more than a politically motivated prosecution.”
During an interview with the Judiciary Committee on June 7, 2023, just days before the reported indictment of Trump, former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO), Steven D’Antuono, gave testimony raising concerns about the execution of the unprecedented raid on the Mar-a-Lago residence.
D’Antuono, a veteran FBI official, expressed frustration with the Department’s approach to the raid, pointing out several irregularities in the pursuit of the investigation against Trump.
These included the surprising decision to assign the WFO rather than the Miami Field Office to carry out the search, the omission of a U.S. Attorney’s Office from the case, a rushed push for the FBI to execute the search warrant without first seeking consent, and the unexplained attempt to exclude Trump’s attorney from the search process.
During his transcribed interview, Mr. D’Antuono detailed how he disagreed with the Justice Department’s approach to the raid and described several abnormalities about the Department’s actions in pursuing its investigation of President Trump:
-
The Miami Field Office did not conduct the search. Mr. D’Antuono testified that FBI headquarters made the decision to assign the execution of the search warrant to the Washington Field Office (WFO) despite the location of the search occurring in the territory of the FBI’s Miami Field Office. Mr. D’Antuono stated that he had “absolutely no idea” why this decision was made and questioned why the Miami Field Office was not taking the lead on this matter. Mr. D’Antuono stated that the FBI “learned a lot of stuff from [the] Crossfire Hurricane” investigation—notably “that the [FBI] Headquarters does not work the investigation, it is supposed to be the field offices working the investigations.” Mr. D’Antuono indicated that his “concern is that [the] DOJ was not following the same principles . . . .” In fact, as recently as May 2023, in response to the report of Special Counsel Durham, the FBI asserted that “investigations should be run out of the Field” and not from Washington, D.C.
-
The Department did not assign a U.S. Attorney’s Office to the matter. According to Mr. D’Antuono, it was unusual to not have a U.S. Attorney assigned to an investigative matter, especially a matter of this magnitude. He explained that he “didn’t understand why there wasn’t a US Attorney assigned” and “raised this concern a lot with” Department officials because this was out of the ordinary. Mr. D’Antuono indicated that he “never got a good answer” and was told that the National Security Division would be handling this matter—with Jay Bratt, who leads the Department’s counterintelligence division, as “the lead prosecutor on the case.” Mr. Bratt is the same Department lawyer who allegedly improperly pressured a lawyer representing an employee of President Trump. Mr. D’Antuono again noted his concern regarding lessons learned from Crossfire Hurricane, that the Justice Department was not following the principle that “Headquarters does not work the investigation . . . .”
-
The FBI did not first seek consent to effectuate the search. Mr. D’Antuono recounted a meeting between FBI and Department officials during which the Department assertively pushed for the FBI to promptly execute the search warrant. Based upon his over-20-year tenure at the FBI, Mr. D’Antuono testified that he believed that the FBI, prior to resorting to a search warrant, should have sought consent to search the premises. He testified that this outcome would have been “the best thing for all parties” involved—“[f]or the FBI, for former President Trump, and for the country . . . .” Mr. D’Antuono indicated a belief that either you or Director Christopher Wray made the decision to seek a search warrant, despite opposition from the line agents working this case in the WFO. Following that meeting, Mr. D’Antuono described how Justice Department counterintelligence official George Toscas—who also reportedly worked on the “Crossfire Hurricane and Clinton email investigations”—told him that FBI agents were ready to execute the warrant. Mr. D’Antuono pushed back on the Department for trying to unilaterally allocate FBI resources.
-
The FBI refused to wait for President Trump’s attorney to be present before executing the search. Mr. D’Antuono testified that the FBI sought to exclude President Trump’s attorney from the search, a move with which Mr. D’Antuono disagreed. Mr. D’Antuono believed that the FBI should have worked with the attorney to get consent to search the residence prior to seeking a warrant for the search. Mr. D’Antuono believes that “there was a good likelihood that [they] could have gotten consent…”
In a series of requests, the Judiciary Committee has now demanded documents pertaining to the FBI’s raid on Trump’s home, which the Department has previously declined to provide. Jordan’s committee has renewed their request for the DOJ to submit all documents related to meetings between FBI and Justice Department officials prior to the raid, and all communications regarding the execution of the search warrant.
The deadline for the DOJ to respond to the committee’s request is 5:00 p.m. on June 16, 2023.
The Committee on the Judiciary is responsible for overseeing the activities of the DOJ and the FBI according to Rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives. As of now, no official response has been received from Attorney General Garland’s office.

Judicial Watch: Clinton Sock Drawer Audio Tape Case Exonerates Pres. Trump
A decade old legal case that could exonerate former President Donald Trump has been buried by legacy media.
“[Special counsel] Jack Smith is terrified of the only standing legal case decision from a court concerning the Presidential Records Act,” said Chris Farrell, Director of Investigations at Judicial Watch.
The case Farrell is referring to is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration – also known as the “Clinton sock drawer” case. Former President Bill Clinton created White House audio tapes with historian Taylor Branch and stored them in his sock drawer. Judicial Watch sued to obtain access to the tapes and lost.
“He took them from the White House with him into private life,” said Farrell. “There’s classified material on those tapes and arguably it’s the sort of running stream of consciousness record of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Pretty important stuff.”
Special counsel Jack Smith is currently investigating the 45th president for his handling of classified documents since departing the White House. But Farrell says the ruling in this specific case from 2012 exonerates Trump from any alleged wrongdoing.
“Amy Berman Jackson, the judge presiding on that case, said a couple of very important things,” said Farrell. “That the president had an absolute, unreviewable right to take any records or documents that he wants when he leaves office. “
“No one can come back and second guess or double think or ask questions about what the president elects to take with him,” Farrell continued.
In her ruling, Jackson wrote that “the President enjoys unconstrained authority to make decisions regarding the disposal of documents: ‘[a]lthough the President must notify the Archivist before disposing of records . . . neither the Archivist nor Congress has the authority to veto the President’s disposal decision.’”
Farrell points out that this ruling has existed without challenge or question for ten years.
“And that has been the standing law unchallenged for the United States for something like 10 or 11 years,” said Farrell. “No one challenged it – unreviewable absolute authority to take whatever [the president] wants and no one can second guess it.”
Trump claimed Smith’s investigation into his documents was all about “election interference.”
“It’s all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” Trump said on Truth Social. “They don’t want to run against me. I ran twice, I did much better the second time, getting millions and millions more votes than the first, a record for a sitting President, and am leading Biden in the polls, by a lot. They are the Party of Disinformation! They are using the DOJ & FBI against me to Rigg the 2024 Election. They’ll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look “fair.” Nothing about these Fascists is fair or honest. FIGHT!”
Farrell claims this classified documents investigation is yet another example of the double standard that exists in the U.S. justice system.
“That’s the legal standard,” Farrell said. “And that’s okay for Bill Clinton, but when you apply the same standard to Donald Trump, suddenly everybody develops amnesia. Nobody knows what you’re talking about.”
So that’s the hypocrisy and that’s the phony double talk that no one will go anywhere near or talk about,” Farrell continued.”
Trump’s defense regarding his conduct has been consistent with this legal precedent.
“I have the absolute right to do whatever I want with them,” Trump told CNN in its town hall in May 2023.
President Joe Biden is facing a separate investigation regarding classified documents from his days as vice president and senator. Biden’s documents were found in numerous locations, including his Wilmington, Delaware home and the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

FBI Official In Charge Of Mar-A-Lago Raid Said Feds Breached Protocol In Repeat Russia Collusion Hoax Fashion
The high-level FBI official tasked with executing the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last year said President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice breached protocol to justify the search proving that the FBI learned nothing from their attempts to undermine the Republican leader during the Russian collusion hoax.
Less than one day after Special Counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with 38 counts related to his retention of government documents, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan unveiled the damning testimony of Steven D’Antuono, the former assistant director of the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO), who expressed uneasiness about the manner the Biden regime chose to search Trump’s home.
“The indictment creates, at the minimum, a serious appearance of a double standard and a miscarriage of justice — an impression that is only strengthened by allegations that a Biden Justice Department lawyer ‘inappropriately sought to pressure’ a Trump-affiliated lawyer with the prospect of a judgeship,” Jordan wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday. “Additional information recently obtained by the Committee about the Department’s execution of a search warrant on President Trump’s residence only reinforces our grave concerns that your reported actions are nothing more than a politically motivated prosecution.”
D’Antuono, who has “over two decades of FBI experience,” told Jordan that he “disagreed with the Justice Department’s approach to the raid” because the DOJ and FBI went out of the way to break protocols designed to prevent the partisan targeting of Americans.
Because the raid was in Florida, D’Antuono said the Miami Field Office should have conducted the search. Instead, D’Antuono, who said he “absolutely no idea” why, was given orders to lead the operation.
D’Antuono said that the FBI knew better than to let its headquarters hijack a local raid, especially after its “seriously flawed” Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Yet, his concerns that the DOJ was overstepping its bounds were ignored.
Similarly, when the FBI veteran asked “a lot” of DOJ officials why a U.S. Attorney’s Office was left out of the investigation, he “never got a good answer.”
“According to Mr. D’Antuono, it was unusual to not have a U.S. Attorney assigned to an investigative matter, especially a matter of this magnitude,” the letter states.
Instead, D’Antuono was told that Jay Bratt, leader of the DOJ’s counterintelligence division, another headquarters man who was accused of inappropriately pressuring a Trump lawyer, would take the reins as “the lead prosecutor on the case.”
Perhaps the most stunning takeaway from D’Antuono’s testimony is the revelation that the DOJ, which “assertively pushed for the FBI to promptly execute the search warrant,” did not seek consent to search the premises. According to D’Antuono, doing so would have been “the best thing for all parties” involved including the FBI, Trump, and “the country.”
The FBI veteran wasn’t the only one who raised eyebrows at the DOJ’s targeting of Trump. D’Antuono said that even though he and several “line agents” in the WFO were opposed to obtaining a search warrant without first informing Trump, either Garland or FBI Director Christopher Wray personally sought one.
“Following that meeting, Mr. D’Antuono described how Justice Department counterintelligence official George Toscas — who also reportedly worked on the ‘Crossfire Hurricane and Clinton email investigations’ told him that FBI agents were ready to execute the warrant,” the letter states. “Mr. D’Antuono pushed back on the Department for trying to unilaterally allocate FBI resources.”
The last misstep in the raid, D’Antuono testified, was the FBI’s decision to “exclude President
Trump’s attorney from the search, a move with which Mr. D’Antuono disagreed.”
Once again, D’Antuono reiterated his belief that the FBI “should have worked with the attorney to get consent to search the residence prior to seeking a warrant for the search” because “there was a good likelihood that [they] could have gotten consent.”
Jordan concluded the letter by noting that the DOJ is stonewalling his requests for information about the FBI’s foray into Trump’s Florida home.
“In light of this testimony and the Department’s failure to respond to our previous oversight requests, we write to renew and supplement our request for documents necessary for our oversight,” Jordan wrote.
By June 16 at 5 p.m., the House Judiciary Committee wants all of the information, documents, and communications between the DOJ and FBI before the raid. Jordan specifically requested relevant documents from several members of the DOJ and FBI, including Paul Abbate, Matthew Olsen, Bratt, Toscas, and the interviewee.
To verify D’Antuono’s claims about consent, the committee asked that “all documents and communications between or among Washington Field Office agents and employees and the U.S. Secret Service about a potential search of President Trump’s residence” also be turned over.
