Donald Trump kept classified documents in, among other places, a bathroom and in a shower at his residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida. This is evident from the indictment, which was made public on Friday.

A close associate of Donald Trump is also covered by the indictment relating to the handling of secret documents at Trump's home. This is evident from the indictment, which became public on Friday evening.  

 

According to the indictment, the employee, Walt Nauta, is said to have helped Trump withhold documents from the FBI and from Trump's lawyers, and he is also said to have lied in interrogations.  

 

Nauta began working for Trump during his time as president. When the term was over, he accompanied Trump to the private residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida where he became Trump's assistant.

Trump is indicted on 37 counts - had secret documents about US defense in the residence  

 

The charges against Donald Trump have now been made public, reports CNBC. According to the indictment, the former president is suspected of 37 crimes in connection with taking secret documents from the White House to his private residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida. 

 

He also allegedly tried to obstruct the investigation.  

 

The documents are said to have dealt, among other things, with the defense of the United States and other countries and the American nuclear weapons program as well as plans for how the United States would respond to a hostile attack, writes Reuters.  

 

Trump is also suspected of having shown documents about a possible attack on another country to people without the right security classification. Trump is also said to have asked his associate Walt Nauta, who is also indicted, to move boxes of documents so that the FBI would not find them. According to the indictment, classified documents were stored, among other things, in a ballroom, a bathroom, in a shower and in Trump's bedroom, writes NBC.  

 

According to the Department of Justice, Trump's actions risked threatening US national security.
