Former President Donald Trump has walked out of federal court after pleading not guilty to 37 charges. Trump’s lawyers asked for a jury trial during the former president’s arraignment Tuesday in federal court in Miami.
The Republican leader previously announced he would speak Tuesday night in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump, who will stand trial for misappropriation of state secrets after leaving the White House, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in his historic appearance in federal court in Miami.
“We certainly do not plead guilty,” his lawyer Todd Blanche said during the hearing, according to an AFP journalist.
This paves the way for a potentially very damaging process for his 2024 US presidential campaign.
