Former U.S. President, Donald Trump, is due to make a first court appearance in the case in a Miami court on Tuesday (June 13), a day before his 77th birthday.
The Magistrate Court where Trump will appear next week and the neighboring Wilkie D. Ferguson Federal Courthouse where Trump was indicted could be seen Friday (June 9) amid a bright Miami sun.
U.S. prosecutors unsealed a 37-count indictment against Donald Trump on Friday, accusing the former president of risking some of the country's most sensitive security secrets after leaving the White House in 2021.
Trump mishandled classified documents that included information about the secretive U.S. nuclear program and potential domestic vulnerabilities in the event of an attack, the federal indictment said.
Trump also discussed with lawyers the possibility of lying to government officials seeking to recover the documents; stored some of the documents around a toilet, and moved boxes of them around his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort home to prevent them from being found, the charges said.
The Justice Department made the criminal charges public on a tumultuous day in which two of Trump's lawyers quit the case. The indictment charges Trump with 37 counts. A former aide, Walt Nauta, faces charges in the case as well.
Since Trump would serve any sentences concurrently if convicted, the maximum prison time he faces is 20 years for obstruction of justice, which carries the highest penalty.
