Without a local lawyer to represent Trump in court, Tuesday's appearance could be cut short, sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. In that case, Trump would go to the courthouse to surrender, but he would not be arraigned and enter a plea.
In Miami, preparations were underway Monday for any protests or counterprotests outside the courthouse Tuesday.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said the city and state were taking a unified command approach to the day, pooling resources and information with federal agents and the U.S. Secret Service, which is responsible for the safety of current and former presidents. The 49-page federal indictment was meticulously detailed, with photos showing dozens of boxes of presidential documents Trump took with him when he left the White House in 2021.
But as the indictment alleges, Trump repeatedly refused to turn over troves of documents, and he instructed Nauta to hide them from investigators who came armed with a subpoena.
