Today’s Headlines: Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 criminal counts related to the retention of classified documents, including 21 charges involving top-secret information. The indictment alleges that Trump was personally involved in packing and sorting boxes of classified documents, and he also faces charges of conspiracy to obstruct the investigation. Trump's former military valet, Walt Nauta, has also been charged with lying on Trump's behalf. The case will be overseen by a judge appointed by Trump himself, which could present a conflict of interest. Trump's attorneys have announced they are no longer representing him, but he quickly found new representation. Some Republican allies of Trump have shown support despite the charges. In other news, a major portion of the I-95 corridor near Philadelphia collapsed due to a commercial truck fire, leading to significant traffic disruptions and air quality concerns.
