Trump Pleads Not Guilty in Federal Court

June 13, 2023 · 3:30 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump pleaded not guilty in federal court in Miami on Tuesday to criminal charges that he risked disclosure of defense secrets and obstructed the government’s efforts to reclaim classified documents he took with him upon leaving office,” the New York Times reports.

“Inside the courtroom, Mr. Trump — wearing a dark suit and a red tie — sat with his arms crossed at the defense table while the magistrate judge over seeing the hearing described the indictment. One of his lawyers, Todd Blanche, entered a plea on Mr. Trump’s behalf.”

Washington Post: “As the first American former president to be accused of federal crimes, Trump faces the possibility of years in prison.”
