Former President Donald Trump has been indicted in federal court in Miami in connection with his retention of government documents he retained after leaving the White House.
Trump himself disclosed the indictment in a series of posts on his Truth Social social media site on Thursday evening. He also said he has been summoned to appear in court in Miami on Tuesday.
NBC News soon after confirmed the indictment.
Trump has been the focus of a federal criminal investigation since last year over his stonewalling of requests to return government records, including classified documents, after ending his term as president. By law, such records must be returned when a president leaves office.
Trump's home at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, was raised last August by FBI agents searching for records they believed would be located there.
Agents found hundreds of documents marked classified.
