Former United States President Donald Trump is reportedly facing a total of seven counts after the US Justice Department decided to lodge federal criminal charges against him for illegal handling of classified documents, the New York Times reported on Thursday, citing two sources.
The counts are said to include willfully retaining national defense secrets in violation of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice conspiracy. Federal District Court in Miami will be the first court in American history to hear federal charges against a former president.
