Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to dozens of criminal counts for mishandling some of the US government’s most sensitive secrets and scheming to prevent their return, in a historic appearance Tuesday in federal court.
On the eve of his 77th birthday, Trump appeared before a magistrate judge to be formally presented with 37 charges brought by a special counsel probe that opened after an FBI raid of his Florida mansion.The hearing — just weeks after Trump denied state-level financial fraud charges in a separate case in Manhattan — came with the former reality TV star’s mounting legal woes threatening to derail his bid to return to the Oval Office.
Authorities say he conspired to thwart investigators and knowingly shared national security secrets with people who did not have the requisite clearance. “We have a country that’s corrupt,” Trump told the gathering, railing at the charges brought against him.Miami officials were preparing for large scale protests, and police had ramped up security well in advance of what turned out to be a few dozen Trump supporters converging near the courthouse.
