Federal prosecutors unsealed a 49-page indictment on Friday that made multiple allegations in charging former President Donald Trump with 37 felony counts.

No trial date has been set, but the case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump appointed to the Southern District of Florida bench in 2020. Trump is scheduled to appear before Cannon on Tuesday.

Special Counsel Jack Smith said during a press conference on Friday that the former president will get “a speedy trial on this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.”

Even with a speedy trial, Trump’s unprecedented legal challenges are sure to affect his bid for another term in the White House. He also faces a trial in New York, where the Manhattan district attorney has secured an indictment against him for allegedly falsifying business records. He also faces a separate federal criminal investigation from Smith over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and he faces a criminal investigation in Georgia over the same matter.

The following are some of the most explosive allegations and details contained in the indictment:

1. The contents of classified materials recovered throughout the course of the investigation

The indictment states:

The classified documents [Trump] stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military, attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.

The former president allegedly had in his possession classified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the Department of Energy, and the Department of State and Bureau of Intelligence and Research.

2. Trump allegedly showed members of the media classified material in a recorded interview in which he acknowledged that the material was still classified

The indictment states:

In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (“The Bedminster Club”), during an audio-recorded meeting with a writer, a publisher, and two members of his staff, none of whom possessed a security clearance, [Trump] showed and described a “plan of attack” that [Trump] said was prepared for him by the Department of Defense and a senior military official. [Trump] told the individuals that the plan was “highly confidential” and “secret.” [Trump] also said, “as president I could have declassified it,” and, “Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”

A few months later, the former president is accused of showing a representative of his political action committee “a classified map related to a military operation and told the representative that he should not be showing it to the representative and that the representative should not get too close.”

3. Trump had a co-conspirator who was charged in connection with the alleged crimes

Prosecutors charged Waltine Nauta with Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice, Withholding a Document or Record, Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record, Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation, Scheme to Conceal, and False Statements and Representations.

Nauta was a member of the United States Navy stationed as a valet in the White House while Trump was in office. In August 2021, Nauta became Trump’s executive assistant and served as Trump’s “personal aide or ‘body man,’” the indictment says.

4. Prosecutors say that Trump committed five specific examples of trying to obstruct the investigation

The indictment states that Trump “endeavored to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations and conceal his continued retention of classified documents” by, among other things:

suggesting that his attorney falsely represent to the FBI and grand jury that [Trump] did not have documents called for by the grand jury subpoena; directing defendant [Waltine Nauta] to move boxes of documents to conceal them from [Trump]’s attorney, the FBI, and the grand jury; suggesting that his attorney hide or destroy documents called for by the grand jury subpoena; providing to the FBI and grand jury just some of the documents called for by the grand jury subpoena, while claiming that he was cooperating fully; and causing a certification to be submitted to the FBI and grand jury falsely representing that all documents called for by the grand jury subpoena had been produced-while knowing that, in fact, not all such documents had been produced.

5. Three of Trump’s lawyers are witnesses in the case

The indictment makes mention of three Trump attorneys who are witnesses in the case: Trump Attorney 1, Trump Attorney 2, and Trump Attorney 3.

Conservative attorney Marina Medvin said that she has “never seen anything like that” in a criminal case.

“And Trump’s NY lawyer Cohen is reportedly a witness against him in NY,” she added. “All of his criminal cases share that in common.”

Special counsel Jack Smith has indicted former President Donald Trump in the Southern District of Florida to avoid the appearance of bias and “forum shopping,” a longtime Miami defense attorney told The Daily Wire.

Gustavo Lage, a law partner at the Florida firm of SMG&Q, is a former prosecutor with decades of experience in arguing criminal law cases in Florida. Lage says that Department of Justice prosecutors have indicted Trump in a federal court in Florida, despite having the option of potentially trying the case in Washington, D.C., to avoid not looking impartial.

Smith indicted Trump in the Souther District of Florida on 37 charges related to boxes of allegedly classified documents confiscated from Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida resort and residence. Trump is the first former president to face a federal indictment after leaving the White House.

Trump’s case is politically charged, and his indictment has drawn strong reactions. Republicans have come out in droves attacking the unprecedented indictment as political targeting. To blunt that criticism, Smith is moving to have Trump tried in what many perceive as friendlier territory for the president, Lage told The Daily Wire.

“I believe they chose the Southern District of Florida in an effort to seem less biased and to avoid criticism for forum shopping,” Lage said. “Clearly, Washington would be more beneficial to them in their prosecution than the southern district of Florida.”

The Southern District of Florida gives Trump “the advantage of there being a contingent of Hispanic voters who are considered fairly conservative and allies of the MAGA movement,” he continued, noting that “you may not as easily find in Washington, D.C.”

Trump may have gotten another break in the case as well. Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump appointed to bench in the Southern District in 2020, has reportedly been assigned the case. She earlier handled motions from Trump’s legal team during the investigation into allegedly classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago and made several key rulings favorable to the former president. For example, she appointed a special master to oversee the FBI investigation into those documents at Trump’s request.

“She has a very good pedigree, but seeing as she is so recently appointed, it’s hard to gage what input or what influence her being the judge on the case is going to take,” Lage said. “If we are to look at what happened with the search warrant issue, we could reasonably believe she’s more pro-Trump than anti-Trump; although, I wouldn’t necessarily say that she is not going to be fair, or not going to call balls and strikes just because she is a Trump appointee.”

On Friday, two of Trump’s top attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, resigned from the former president’s legal defense in a legal team shakeup. Trump has tapped Todd Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York before moving to white-collar criminal defense, to lead his defense against Smith in the documents case.

Lage said Blanche is “imminently qualified” to lead Trump’s defense, and the shakeup is likely part of a plan to reorient Trump’s legal team in light of the indictment.
