TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump is facing 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of withholding a document or record, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, one count of scheming to conceal and one count of making false statements and representations. The indictment alleges that Trump removed highly classified documents from the White House, stored them throughout Mar-a-Lago in areas where they could easily have been accessed by guests or other people, showed the classified documents to other people while acknowledging they were classified, and repeatedly tried to obstruct government efforts to get the documents back. The indictment is a lot more detailed than the one we got in April and includes some pretty damning allegations and quotes.
