The indictment against Trump and Walt Nauta reflects many of the public reports based off what witnesses or their lawyers have shared with journalists.For example:



¶12 describes that the Secret Service had no knowledge of or responsibility for protecting Trump's boxes of stolen classified documents, which is likely based in part on interviews of past and current Secret Service Agents

¶24 describes that Nauta helped Trump pack up in January 2021, something based on interviews of others who helped as well

¶34 provides a transcript of the meeting at which Trump boasted about an Iran document in an attempt to attack Mark Milley, about which Margo Martin was interviewed in March

¶35 describes how Trump showed someone from his PAC a classified map, another topic of interviews that got reported to the press
