For the first time, a former president has been indicted by a federal grand jury. Donald Trump faces charges in the classified documents case. CBS News White House correspondent Steven Portnoy reports.
CBS News confirms it’s a seven count indictment, charging the former president with unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense, and obstructing efforts to investigate how he handled them.
The indictment is the culmination of a year-long Justice Department effort that had the F-B-I seizing a hundred classified documents from Mar-a-Lago last August, after Trump attorneys insisted he had none in his possession. The former president is expected to appear in a Miami federal court on Tuesday afternoon.
