The outcome of past cases against defendants accused of hoarding classified documents looms as an ominous guidepost for the legal jeopardy Donald Trump could face.
MIAMI (AP) — Former President Donald Trump gave a wave and a signature thumbs up to crowds outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami after pleading not guilty to criminal charges. He then headed to a local Cuban restaurant where he warmly greeted waiting supporters in a camera-ready scene that resembled a campaign stop.
Former President Donald Trump gave a wave and thumbs up to crowds gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami as he left his first court appearance on federal criminal charges. He then headed to a local Cuban restaurant on Tuesday where he warmly greeted waiting supporters in a scene that more closely resembled a campaign stop. The restaurant visit was part of Trump’s efforts at counter-programming, as he campaigns again for president and maintains that he has been unfairly targeted.
