The indictment also alleges that Trump "endeavored to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations and conceal his continued retention of classified documents," including by "suggesting that his attorney falsely represent to the FBI and grand jury that [he] did not have documents called for by the grand jury subpoena," and even "suggesting that his attorney hide or destroy documents called for by the grand jury subpoena."
Trump was indicted in the case on Thursday, marking the second time the former president has faced criminal charges in less than four months. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged him with 34 separate felony counts of falsifying business records in April.
