Former US President Donald Trump, 76, has been hit with seven charges related to his handling of classified documents after his tenure in the White House, according to reports from US media.

The specific charges have not yet been made public, marking the second indictment of Mr. Trump and the first federal indictment of a former president.

Despite the legal troubles, Mr. Trump is actively campaigning for a return to the White House in 2024.

Legal experts assert that the indictment will not hinder his ability to run for the presidency again.

In response to the charges, Mr. Trump took to Truth Social, his social media platform, to assert his innocence and disclose that he has been summoned to appear at a federal court in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday afternoon.

He anticipates being arrested during the hearing and being made aware of the charges levied against him.

Expressing disbelief, Mr. Trump lamented the situation, stating, “I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former president of the United States.”

He further commented on the state of the nation, describing it as a “dark day” and vowing to “Make America Great Again!”

Jim Trusty, Mr. Trump’s attorney, confirmed that the former president had received details of the charges through a summons document.

The charges include conspiracy, false statements, obstruction of justice, and the illegal retention of classified documents under the Espionage Act.

While the Department of Justice declined to comment, the indictment has yet to be publicly released.

An indictment is a legal document that outlines the specific charges against an individual, ensuring they are properly informed about the alleged criminal offences.

As preparations are made for Mr. Trump’s journey to the Miami courthouse, the Secret Service will be coordinating with his staff and security officers.

The investigation into the handling of classified documents has been overseen by special prosecutor Jack Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November.

Last year, Mr. Trump’s Florida resort Mar-a-Lago was subject to a search during which 11,000 documents were seized, including approximately 100 classified documents, some of which were labelled as top secret.

Recent reports suggest that prosecutors have obtained an audio recording in which Mr. Trump acknowledges retaining a classified document after leaving the White House in January 2021.

It is a violation of US law for federal officials, including presidents, to remove or retain classified documents at an unauthorized location.

However, legal experts indicate that even if Mr. Trump were to be convicted in the documents case, it would not prevent him from running for office, including the White House race.

Despite the indictment, Mr. Trump remains a frontrunner among Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential election, as indicated by various opinion polls.

Notably, as news of the indictment broke, several prominent Republicans voiced their support for Mr. Trump.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, condemned the indictment, calling it an “unconscionable” act by a president to indict a leading candidate opposing him.

Similarly, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pledged to bring accountability to the Department of Justice and put an end to political bias and weaponization.

Vivek Ramaswamy, another candidate in the running, promised to pardon Trump promptly on January 20, 2025, and restore the rule of law in the country.

However, Asa Hutchinson, a separate candidate, expressed the belief that Mr. Trump’s alleged actions should not define the nation or the Republican Party.

In addition to the current indictment, another investigation is underway into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which Mr. Trump lost.

This investigation is also being overseen by special prosecutor Jack Smith, known for his thorough investigative approach.

Furthermore, Mr. Trump is set to face trial next year in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to a porn star
