    • Former President Donald Trump indicted for a second time on federal charges related to handling classified information.
    • Charges include retaining national defense information, obstructing justice, withholding and concealing documents, and making false statements.
    • Trump denies wrongdoing and calls the indictment a “hoax” and a “dark day” for the US.
    • The indictment is unprecedented, as a former president facing criminal charges while being a leading candidate for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination.
    • The investigation is led by special counsel Jack Smith, who is also overseeing the probe into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
