Former President Donald Trump was arrested by US Deputy Marshals ordered by a Miami Court for the unauthorized possession of classified national security documents in the period after he left the White House in 2021. After being fingerprinted, Trump will be free.

The date of the start of the judicial process against him remains unclear. Some experts say it could take months to begin and could even be delayed until after the 2024 presidential election. Despite the added problems with the judicial system, Trump is free to continue campaigning for president and has vowed to to continue the campaign even if found guilty.

After being made aware of the allegations, Trump is expected to fly to his golf club in New Jersey, where he will host the first fundraising event for his 2024 presidential campaign.

Why is he accused?

The formal indictment of the former president comes five days after a federal grand jury in Miami handed down 37 criminal charges against him, 31 of which charge the former president with "intentional retention" of classified national security documents, in violation of the Espionage Act.

A Trump aide, Walt Nauta, was also charged in connection with obstructing the government's efforts to obtain the documents.

Trump is the first former president to face federal charges. This is the second time in two months that charges have been brought against him.

He faces separate criminal charges in New York in connection with a payment to buy the silence of a pornographic actress during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The charges against former President Trump stemmed from an investigation that began after he reportedly refused repeated attempts by the National Archives to hand over documents he removed from the White House and kept at Mar-a-Lago.

The federal document lists 31 charges against former President Trump for "intentionally withholding" classified national security information, for each of the documents he obtained from the White House.

21 of those documents were among more than 100 documents the FBI discovered during a raid at Mar-a-Lago last August.

The indictment says the documents contained classified information about the United States' nuclear programs, the vulnerabilities of the United States and allied countries in the event of an attack, and plans for possible response to the attack. The indictment says that exposing these documents could endanger the national security of the United States.

The other six charges - which include obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements - relate to Mr Trump's efforts to obstruct the investigation and conceal his possession of classified documents.

Trump claims he had an order to declassify all documents moved from the Oval Office to his residence inside the White House.

But the indictment says former President Trump was aware of the laws in place on classified national security information and willfully violated them.

In one case in July 2021, Trump is accused of showing a document about an "attack plan" to a group of four people who were not authorized to see classified information - a writer, a publisher and two employees - at the club. golf club in New Jersey, telling them the document was "highly classified" and "secret" and that he could no longer declassify it.

On another occasion, in September 2021, Trump showed a classified map to a representative of his political organization for the election campaign, telling the person in question that he "shouldn't show it to him and that he shouldn't get too close." next to the map, the indictment says.
