Special Counsel Jack Smith discusses the decision to indict Donald Trump over his refusal to return classified documents found at his Florida home. He speaks at a news conference on Friday in Washington.
Donald Trump engaged in relentless efforts to hide government documents from authorities, instructing aides to shuttle boxes of sensitive information at his Mar-a-Lago home from a ballroom to a bathroom to a storage room, as well as his office.
The efforts are detailed in words, photographs and conversations transcribed in a federal indictment unsealed Friday that alleges the former president engaged in a conspiracy with a close aide to resist returning classified materials, even after receiving a subpoena requiring him to do so.
Trump shared classified documents freely and indicated he knew some were classified, according to court documents.
