The court said the classified documents included "defense capabilities and weapons of both the United States and foreign countries; U.S. nuclear programs..." They could potentially harm the United States and Washington's allies.

Boxes containing classified documents are believed to be stored in various locations around Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

In addition, federal authorities also accused Mr. Trump of directing obstruction of the investigation, instructing his lawyers and assistants to move boxes of classified documents and prevent federal authorities from obtaining them.

Mr. Trump said he had received a summons to appear in federal court on June 13, and denied all accusations against him.
