Trump pleads not guilty and says the federal charges against him are just political persecution.
Former President Donald Trump says he will disprove claims he mishandled privileged government information and attempted to conceal it.Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 37 federal charges concerning alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice.
The GOP presidential hopeful appeared before the U.S. Judge Magistrate Johnathan Goodman and was represented by Attorneys Todd Blanche and Chris Kine. Another member of his legal team, Alina Habba, was outside during court proceedings, condemning the federal arraignment. Alongside Smith, Jay Bratt, David Harbach and Julie Edelstein, all prosecutors representing the Justice Department were in attendance.
Trump called on his supporters to flock to the courthouse to show support – and that they did, turning up outside in droves, waving flags and chanting praise for the former president. Trump labeled the investigator’s actions “election interference” initiated by the “corrupt president” Joe Biden in yet another attempt to steal the presidency.
Trump claimed that he had the “absolute right” and “unconstrained power” to not only make decisions but to have the documents he had with him at Mar-a-Lago at the time.
