Subpoena Alleges Multiple Counts of Misconduct

Former President Faces Significant Legal Challenges

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on 37 counts, including willful retention of national defense information, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of fraud. The indictment alleges that Trump showed classified documents to others on two occasions and obstructed justice by attempting to interfere with the investigation into his actions related to the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

Trump's lawyers have argued that his efforts to overturn the 2020 election were official acts taken while in office, but a Congressional committee has referred Trump to the Department of Justice on at least four criminal charges, including insurrection.

The indictment represents a significant development in the ongoing legal challenges facing Trump. Follow NPR for the latest news and analysis as this story unfolds.
