over his alleged unlawful retention of classified documents and his alleged efforts to obstruct the government's investigation, while his longtime aide Walt Nauta faces six counts of various obstruction-related offenses. Both have pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Leading up to Trump's indictment, it was revealed in court filings that the government had taken custody of more than 320 documents with classification markings in Trump's possession, from his first handover of materials to the National Archives in January of 2022, his legal team's response to a subpoena from the DOJ months later, and the FBI's search of his Mar-a-Lago resort last August.
All of those documents, comprising thousands of pages, will ultimately be relevant to Trump's case and the discovery process, as the government works to determine what it will share with Trump or Nauta's attorneys -- and ultimately a jury.
