Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to charges brought by federal prosecutors for his alleged retention of classified documents, obstructing justice, and making false statements.
Trump entered his plea Tuesday during his arraignment before U.S. District Court Magistrate Jonathan Goodman on the 13th floor of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse in downtown Miami. The previous night, Goodman rejected a press coalition motion to permit photographers into the courtroom for the start of the hearing but said there would be a transcript of the proceedings.
Local and federal authorities were on alert for violence or unrest, and the court precinct was surrounded with yellow police tape. Police briefly cleared the area outside the federal courthouse amid reports of a bomb threat Tuesday morning, but the public, including the crush of media members who have descended on the Miami courthouse, were soon allowed back in.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a biopharmaceutical businessman and Republican presidential contender, held a press conference on the Miami courthouse grounds at which he argued that"the use of police force by a sitting U.S. president against his chief political rival in the midst of a presidential election sets a dangerous precedent in our country" as he pledged to pardon Trump if elected president.
— Naomi Lim June 13, 2023 Trump faces 37 felony counts, including under the Espionage Act, according to special counsel Jack Smith's 49-page indictment after the matter was considered by a Miami grand jury.
