              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.
