Trump approached his arraignment with characteristic bravado, insisting as he has through years of legal woes that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes.
Trump and aide Walt Nauta were booked shortly after they arrived Tuesday afternoon. Both men are expected to appear at the defense table shortly on charges that they wrongly held onto classified documents. The two men were seen arriving at court together.
Four black SUVs entered the garage beneath the Miami courthouse, followed by police officers, ahead of Trump’s scheduled 3 p.m. appearance. A fifth black SUV remained outside. Security remained tight outside the building but there were no signs of significant disruptions. It’s also a watershed moment for a Justice Department that until last week had never before brought charges against a former president. Attorney General Merrick Garland, an appointee of President Joe Biden, sought to insulate the department from political attacks by handing ownership of the case last year to a special counsel, Jack Smith, who on Friday declared, “We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.
