Former President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been arrested at the federal courthouse in Miami for mishandling classified documents.
According to the federal courthouse, the criminal charges against the former US President are about the mishandling of classified documents, as declared by the Justice Department.
Trump is confronted with 37 felony charges that he unlawfully retained national defence information and concealed documents in violation of laws related to tampering with witnesses during the Justice Department’s investigation into the materials.
The hearing scheduled for Tuesday will serve as both an “initial appearance” and an arraignment for Trump.
During the hearing, he will have the opportunity to enter his plea in the case.
According to Florida rules, lawyers representing Trump and his co-defendant, Walt Nauta, must appear in court on their behalf.
Experts say the situation would significantly increase the legal risks the leading contender faces for the 2024 Republican Party nomination.
