Trump Indicted In Classified Documents Case, Becoming First Ex-US President To Face Federal Charges

Eko Hot Blog reports that former president, Donald Trump has been indicted in the classified documents case, the first time a former U.S. president has faced federal criminal charges.

A federal grand jury has indicted Donald Trump in connection with his mishandling of more than 100 classified documents that were discovered last year at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, making the twice-impeached former commander-in-chief the first former president to face federal criminal charges.

Trump said Thursday night that his attorneys were informed that he’s been indicted in the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said: “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax.”
