He became the first former president in U.S. history to be charged with a federal crime by the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors arraigned Trump on 37 felony counts connected with his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House. According to the federal indictment, the ex-president “endeavored to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations and conceal the retention of classified documents." It also names former White House valet and Trump aide Walt Nauta as a co-conspirator. If convicted, Trump faces a long prison sentence. There is no word on when the trial will begin.
