The charging document indicates that on at least two occasions, Trump showed classified records to visitors without security clearances at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump is facing 31 counts of violating the Espionage Act through “willful retention” of classified records and six counts related to his alleged effort to obstruct the investigation.
An aide to Trump, Walt Nauta, was also charged with five felonies, including obstruction of justice and making false statements to the FBI.
The indictment lists 31 specific documents Trump is accusing of intentionally withholding from federal officials after they requested the return of all national security records: 21 of the documents are described as Top Secret, six as secret and one as lacking any classification marking but involving “military contingency planning of the United States.”
