Trump informed he is target of DOJ probe into classified documents.
TL;DR Summary
Prosecutors have informed Donald Trump's lawyers that he is the target of an investigation into his handling of classified documents after leaving the presidency. The investigation began in 2021 after suspicions arose that Trump had not returned all the documents he was supposed to. In August 2020, the FBI found 13,000 documents, 100 of which were marked classified, in a search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Trump has defended his retention of the documents, suggesting that he declassified them while he was president, but has provided no evidence for the claim. Trump is the first current or former US president to face criminal charges.
