One of the documents involved a potential attack on another country, which The New York Times has reported was Iran.
During that conversation Mr. Trump acknowledged that he knew the document was “a secret,” the indictment said.
At one point he suggested his lawyer take some documents to his hotel room and “pluck” out anything really bad, the indictment says.
Mr. Trump walked out of the White House with details of the nuclear capabilities of the United States and a foreign government, descriptions of support for terrorist activities by a foreign country and communications with the leader of a foreign country.
These are some of the United States’ most closely guarded secrets — so sensitive that many top national-security officials can’t see them — and Mr. Trump treated them like a prize he had won at a carnival.
