The indictment, filed Thursday in Federal District Court in Miami, is the first time in U.S. history a former president has faced federal charges.

The Justice Department took the legally and politically momentous step of lodging federal criminal charges against former President Donald J. Trump, multiple people familiar with the matter said on Thursday, following a lengthy investigation of his handling of classified documents that he took with him upon leaving office and then obstructing the government’s efforts to reclaim them.

The indictment, filed in Federal District Court in Miami, is the first time in American history a former president has faced federal charges. It puts the nation in an extraordinary position, given Mr. Trump’s status not only as a onetime chief executive but also as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination to face President Biden, whose administration will now be seeking to convict his potential rival.

It was not immediately known what specific charges Mr. Trump is facing. One person briefed on the matter said there were seven counts.>>>

BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that the Justice Department just “informed” his attorney’s that he has “been indicted” and “summoned to appear at the Federal Court House in Miami on Tuesday at 3 PM.”

Here is Trump’s unhinged announcement:

“The corrupt Biden administration has informed my attorneys that I have been indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Biden has 1,850 boxes at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents, strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, which is “secured” only by a garage door that is paper thin, an open most of the time. I have been summoned to appear at the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing can happen to a former President of the United States.”

Please retweet and ❤️ if you’re THRILLED that Trump just got federally indicted — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: http://tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
