Donald Trump is facing 37 criminal counts over retaining national defence information, nuclear secrets, and obstruction.
A document which details the charges – known as an indictment – is unsealed by the US Department of Justice.
Classified files were stored in a shower, bathroom, ballroom and his bedroom, the charges allege.
Walt Nauta, a close Trump aide, is charged separately and jointly with Trump over handling of classified files.
It comes on a day of tumult for Trump as his lawyers Jim Trusty and John Rowley suddenly resign from the case.
The former president, campaigning to return to the White House, says he is innocent and the indictment is “election interference”.
He will appear in a federal court in Miami on Tuesday, with Secret Service agents already planning his journey.
Special Counsel Jack Smith, the lead investigator, says he wants a speedy trial and that Trump is innocent until proven guilty.
