Introduction 

1. Defendant DONALD TRUMP was the forty-fifth President of the United States of America. He held office from January 20,2017, until January 20, 2021. As president, TRUMP had lawful access to the most sensitive classified documents and national defense information gathered and owned by the United States government, including information from the agencies that comprise the United States Intelligence Community and the United States Department of Defense.
2. Over the course of his presidency, TRUMP gathered newspapers, press clippings, letters, notes, cards, photographs, official documents, and other materials in cardboard boxes that he kept in the White Among the materials TRUMP stored in his boxes were hundreds of classified documents.
3.  The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military, attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a..,,_foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods.

4. At 12:00 m. onJanuary 20, 2021, TRUMP ceased to bepresident. As hedeparted

the White House, TRUMP caused scores of boxes, many of which contained classified documents,

to be transported to The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florid_aw, here he maintained his

residence. TRUMP was not authorized to possess or retain those classified documents.

5. The Mar-a-Lago Club was an active social club, which, between January 2021 and August 2022, hosted events for tens of thousands of members and After TRUMP’s presidency, The Mar-a-Lago Club was not an authorized location for the storage, possession, review, display, or discussion of classified documents. Nevertheless, TRUMP stored his boxes containing classified documents in various locations at The Mar-a-Lago Club-including in a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room.
6. On two occasions in 2021, TRUMP showed classified documents to others, as follows:

1. In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey (“The Bedminster Club”), during an audio-recorded meeting with a writer, a publisher, and two members of his staff, none of whom possessed a security clearance, TRUMP showed and described a “plan of attack” that TRUMP said was prepared for him by the Department of Defense and a senior military official. TRUMP told the individuals that the plan was “highly confidential” and “secret.” TRUMP also said, “as president I could have declassified it,” and, “Now I can’t, you know, butthis is still a “

1. In August or September 2021, at The Bedminster Club, TRUMP showed a representative of his political action committee who did not possess a security clearance a classified map related to a military operation and told the representative that he should not be showing it to the representative and that the representative should not get too

7. On March 30, 2022, the Federal Bureau oflnvestigation (“FBI”) opened a criminal investigation into the unlawful retention of classified documents at The Mar-a-Lago Club. A federal grand jury investigation began thenext Thegrand jury issued a subpoena requiring TRUMP to tum over all documents with classification markings. TRUMP endeavored to obstruct the FBI and grand jury investigations and conceal his continued retention of classified documents by, among other things:
   1. suggesting that his attorney falsely represent to the FBI and grand jury that

TRUMP did not have documents called for by the grand jury subpoena;

1. directing defendant WALTINE NAUTA to move boxes of documents to conceal them from TRUMP’s attorney, the FBI, and the grand jury;
2. suggesting that his attorney hide or destroy documents called for by the grand jury subpoena;

1. providing to the FBI and grand jury just some of the documents called for by the grand jury subpqena, while claiming that he was cooperating fully; and
2. causing a certification to be submitted to the FBI and grand jury falsely representing that all documents called for by the grand jury subpoena had been produced-while knowing that, in fact, not all such documents had been produced.
3. As a result ofTRUMP’s retention of classified documents after his presidency and refusal to return them, hundreds of classified documents were not recovered by the United States government until 2022, as follows:

8. 1. On January 17, nearly one year after TRUMP left offi e, and after months of demands by the National Archives and Records Administration for TRUMP to provide all missing presidential records, TRUMP provided only 15 boxes, which contained 197 documents with classification markings.

1. On June 3, in response to a grand jury subpoena demanding the production of all documents with classificationmarkings, TRUMP’s attorney provided to the FBI 38 more documents with classification
2. On August 8, pursuant to a court-authorized search warrant, the FBI recovered from TRUMP’s office and a storage room at The Mar-a-Lago Club 102 more documents with classification markings.

9. Defendant NAUTA was a member of the United States Navy stationed as a valet in the White House during TRUMP’s Beginning in August 2021, NAUTA became an executive assistant in The Office of Donald J.

1. The Mar-a-Lago Club was located on South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach, Florida, and included TRUMP’s residence, more than 25 guest rooms, two ballrooms, a spa, a gift store, exercise facilities, office space, and an outdoor pool and patio. As of January 2021, The Mar-a-Lago Club had hundreds of members and was staffed by more than 150 full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.

11. Between January 2021 and August 2022, The Mar-a-Lago Club hosted more than 150 social events, including weddings, movie premieres, and fundraisers that together drew tens of thousands of guests.
12. The United States Secret Service (the “Secret Service”) provided protection services to TRUMP and his family after he left office, including at The Mar-a-Lago Club, but it was not responsible for the protection of TRUMP’s boxes or their contents. TRUMP did not inform the Secret Service that he was storing boxes containing classified documents at The Mar­

a-Lago Club.

information. After his presidency, TRUMP was not authorized to possess or retain classified documents.

18. Executive Order 13526 provided that a former president could obtain a waiver of the “need-to-know” requirement, if the agency head or senior agency official of the agency that originated the classified information: (1) determined in writing that access was consistent with the interest of national security and (2) took appropriate steps to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure or compromise and ensured that the information was safeguarded in a manner consistent with the TRUMP did not obtain any such waiver after his presidency.

    2. On September 6, 2016, TRUMP stated, “We also need to fight this battle by collecting intelligence and then protecting, protecting our classified . . . We can’t have someone in the Oval Office who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word conqdential or classified.”

As thehead of the executive branch and Commander in Chief, I have a unique, Constitutional responsibility to protect the Nation’s classified information, including by controlling access to it. . . . More broadly, the·issue of [a former executive branch official’s] security clearance raises larger questions about the practice of former officials maintaining access to our Nation’s most sensitive secrets long after their time in Government has ended. Such access is particularly inappropriate when former officials have transitioned into highly partisan positions and seek to use real or perceived access to sensitive information to validate their political attacks. Any access granted to our Nation’s secrets should.be in furtherance of national, not personal, interests.

TRUMP’s Retention of Classified Documents After His Presidency

24. In January 2021, as he was preparing to leave the White House, TRUMP and his White House staff, including NAUTA, packed items, including some of TRUMP’s TRUMP was personally involved in this process.

…  it’s interesting.” Later in the interview, TRUMP engaged in the following exchange:

TRUMP:  Well, with [the Senior Military Official]-uh, let me see that, I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack [Country A]. Isn’t it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this-this isoff the record, but-they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.

WRITER:                      Wow.

TRUMP:  We looked at some. This was him. This wasn’t done by me, this was him. All sorts of stuff-pages long, look.

STAFFER:                       Mm.

TRUMP: Wait a minute, let’s see here. STAFFER: [Laughter] Yeah.

TRUMP:  I just found, isn’t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know.

STAFFER:                       Mm-hm.

TRUMP:                    Except it is like, highly confidential.

STAFFER:                          Yeah. [Laughter]

TRUMP:        Secret. This is secret infonnation. Look, look at this.

You attack, and-

TRUMP: By the way. Isn’t that incredible? STAFFER: Yeah.

TRUMP:          I was just thinking, because we were talking about it.

And you know, he said, “he wanted to attack [Country A], and what … “

STAFFER:        You did.

TRUMP: This was done by the military and given to me. Uh, I think we can probably, right?

STAFFER: I don’t know, we’ll, we’ll have to see. Yeah, we’ll have to try to-

TRUMP: Declassify it. STAFFER: -figure outa-yeah.

TRUMP: See as president I could have declassified it. STAFFER: Yeah. [Laughter]

TRUMP: Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret. STAFFER: Yeah. {Laughter] Now we have a problem.

36. On February 16, 2017, four years before TRUMP’s disclosures of classified information set forth above, TRUMP said at a press conference:

The first thing I thought of when I heard about it is, how does the press get this information that’s classified? How do they do it? You know why? Because it’s anillegal process, and the press should be ashamed of themselves. But more importantly, the people that gave out the information to the press should be ashamed of themselves. Really ashamed.

1. On May 30, 2022, at 9:08 m., TRUMP and NAUTA spoke by phone for approximately 30 seconds. Between 10:02 a.m. and 11:51 a.m., NAUTA removed a total of approximately 50 boxes from the Storage Room.

‘

1. On May 30, 2022, at 12:33 m., a Trump family member texted NAUTA:

Good afternoon Walt, Happy Memorial Day!

I saw you put boxes to Potus room. Just FYI and I will tell him as well:

Not sure how many he wants to take on Friday on the plane. We will NOT have a room for them. Plane will be full with luggage.

Thank you!

NAUTA replied:

Good Afternoon Ma’am [Smiley Face Emoji] Thank you so much.

I think he wanted to pick from them. I don’t imagine him wanting to take the boxes.

He told me to put them in the room and that he was going to talk to you about them.

1. On June 1, 2022, beginning at 12:52 m., NAUTA removed approximately 11 boxes from the Storage Room.
2. On June 1, 2022, TRUMP spoke with Trump Attorney 1 by phone and asked whether Trump Attorney 1 was coming to The Mar-a-Lago Club the next day and for exactly what purpose. Trump Attorney 1 reminded TRUMP that Trump Attorney l was going to review the boxes that had been transported from the White House and remained in storage at The Mar-a-Lago Club so that Trump Attorney 1 could have a custodian of records certify that the May 11 subpoena had been complied with fully.

60. On June 2, 2022, the day that Trump Attorney 1 was scheduled to review TRUMP’s boxes in the Storage Room, TRUMP spoke with NAUTA on the phone at 9:29 m. for approximately 24 seconds.
61. Later that day, between 12:33 m. and 12:52 p.m., NAUTA and an employee of

The Mar-a-Lago Club moved approximately 30 boxes from TRUMP’s residence to the Storage

Room.

62. In sum, between May 23, 2022, and June 2, 2022, before Trump Attorney 1’s

review of TRUMP’s boxes in the Storage Room, NAUTA-at TRUMP’s direction-moved approximately 64 boxes from theStorage Room to TRUMP’s residence and brought to the Storage Room only approximately 30 boxes. Neither TRUMP nor NAUTA informed Trump Attorney 1 of this information.

The False Certification to the FBI and the Grand Jury

63. On the afternoon of June 2, 2022, as TRUMP had been informed, Trump Attorney 1 arrived at The Mar-a-Lago Club to review TRUMP’s boxes to look for documents with classification markings in response to the May 11 Subpoena. TRUMP met with Trump Attorney 1 before Trump Attorney 1 conducted the NAUTA escorted Trump Attorney 1 to the Storage Room.
64. Between 3:53 m. and 6:23 p.m., Trump Attorney 1 reviewed the contents of TRUMP’s boxes in the Storage Room. Trump Attorney 1 located 38 documents with classification markings inside the boxes, which Trump Attorney 1 removed and placed in a Redweld folder. Trump Attorney 1 contacted NAUTA and asked him to bring clear duct tape to the Storage Room, which NAUTA did. Trump Attorney 1 used the clear duct tape to seal the Redweld folder with the documents with classification markings inside.

65. After Trump Attorney 1 finished sealing the Redweld folder containing the documents with classification markings that he had found inside TRUMP’s boxes, NAUTA took Trump Attorney I to a dining room in The Mar-a-Lago Club to meet with After Trump Attorney 1 confirmed that he was finished with his search of the Storage Room, TRUMP asked, “Did you find anything? . . . Is it bad? Good?”
66. TRUMP and Trump Attorney 1 then discussed what to do with the Redweld folder containing documents with classification markings and whether Trump Attorney 1 should bring them to his hotel room and put them in a safe During that conversation, TRUMP made a plucking motion, as memorialized by Trump Attorney 1:

He made a funny motion as though – well okay why don’t you take them with you to your hotel room and if there’s anything really bad in there, like, you know, pluck it out. And that was the motion that he made. He didn’t say that.

67. That evening, Trump Attorney I contacted the Department of Justice and requested that an FBI agent meet him at The Mar-a-Lago Club the next day, June 3, so that he could turn over the documents responsive to the May 11
68. Also that evening, Trump Attorney 1 contacted another TRUMP attorney (“Trump

Attorney 3″) and asked her if she would come to The Mar-a-Lago Club the next morning to act as a custodian of records and sign a certification regarding the search for documents with classification markings in response to the May 11 Subpoena. Trump Attorney 3, who had no role in the review ofTRUMP’s boxes in the Storage Room, agreed.

69. The next day, on June 3, 2022, at Trump Attorney l’s request, Trump Attorney 3 signed a certification as the custodian ofrecords for The Office of Donald Trump and took it to The Mar-a-Lago Club to provide it to the Department of Justice and FBI. In the certification, Trump Attorney 3-who performed no search ofTRUMP’s’boxes, had not reviewed the May 11

Subpoena, and had not reviewed the contents of the Redweld folder-stated, among other things, that “[b]ased upon the information that [had] been provided to” her:

_     a.          “A diligent search was conducted of the boxes that were moved from the

White House to Florida”;

1. “This search was conducted after receipt of the subpoena, in order to locate any and all documents that are responsive to the subpoena”; and

1. “Any and all responsive documents accompany this “

70. These statements were false because, among other reasons, TRUMP had directed NAUTA to move boxes before Trump Attorney 1’s June 2 review, so that many boxes were not searched and many documents responsive to the May 11 Subpoena could not be found-and in fact were not found-by Trump Attorney
71. Shortly after Trump Attorney 3 executed the false certification, on June 3, 2022, Trump Attorney l and Trump Attorney 3 met at The Mar-a-Lago Club with personnel from the Department of Justice and Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 3 turned over the Redweld folder containing documents with classification markings, as well as the false certification signed by Trump Attorney 3 as custodian ofrecords. TRUMP, who had delayed his departure from The Mar-a-Lago Club, joined Trump Attorney 1 and Trump Attorney 3 for some of the meeting. TRUMP claimed to the Department of Justice and FBI that he was “an open book.”
72. Earlier that same day, NAUTA and others loaded several ofTRUMP’s boxes along

with other items on aircraft that flew TRUMP and his family north for the summer.

The Court-Authorized Search of The Mar-a-Lago Club

73. InJuly 2022, the FBI and grand jury obtained and reviewed surveillance video from The Mar-a-Lago Club showing the movement of boxes set forth above.

74. On August 8, 2022, the FBI executed a court-authorizedsearch warrant at The Mar- a-Lago Club. The search warrant authorized the FBI to search for and seize, among other things, all documents with classification

7S.  During the execution of the warrant at The Mar-a-Lago Club, the FBI seized 102 documents with classification markings in TRUMP’s office and the Storage Room, as follows:
