Most of the documents involved were marked as “SECRET” or “TOP SECRET” — two of the three levels of security clearances.

Many were tagged with markings such as “NOFORN,” meaning they cannot be released to foreign nationals; “ORCON,” which, according to the State Department, means the information “may not be disseminated outside of the recipient Department without prior approval”; and “SI,” or special intelligence.Other documents are described as being sensitive because they should be shared only with “FVEY,” or those part of the Five Eyes alliance of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

According to the Justice Department, the documents listed for counts 1 through 21 were in Trump’s possession until Aug. 8, 2022. He held on to the rest until June 3, 2022. Some of the documents are so sensitive that the Justice Department redacted their markings when describing them in the indictment.
