The details that emerged yesterday came from an indictment that the Justice Department unsealed. The government charged Trump with 37 criminal counts in total; 31 relate to sensitive documents that he kept and the remaining seven to obstructing the investigation.

In the 37-count indictment unsealed Friday, federal officials say Trump stored classified documents in a bathroom and suggested his lawyers not cooperate with a subpoena.

The charges would be the first to arise from special counsel Jack Smith's investigations into former President Donald Trump.
