In an announcement made on Thursday, Donald Trump revealed that he has been indicted on charges related to mishandling classified documents at his Florida estate.

The gravity of this federal prosecution is arguably the most severe among the various legal threats faced by the former president as he pursues his quest to reclaim the White House.

The Associated Press reached out to the Justice Department for confirmation, but an immediate public statement on the indictment was not provided, the Associated Press reported.

Currently residing in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump’s legal team was reportedly contacted by prosecutors shortly before he took to his Truth Social platform to announce the indictment.

A reliable source, who wished to remain anonymous as they were not authorized to speak publicly, provided this information.

Trump disclosed that he is scheduled to appear in court in Miami later in the afternoon on Tuesday.
