Former President Donald Trump has been charged with mishandling classified documents, making him the first former president to face federal charges. The arrest follows a jury finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, as well as investigations into his involvement in the Capitol insurrection and attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. Police had braced for up to 50,000 demonstrators outside the courthouse, but the scene was relatively sedate as Trump headed to a Cuban restaurant for a meeting with loyalists.
