~0.9 mins read
Former US President, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to the first federal criminal charges brought against him during an initial appearance to answer an indictment at a courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, June 13.
According to various American reports , a lawyer for Trump entered a plea of not guilty on 37 counts of illegally retaining classified documents and obstructing the government's efforts to get them back.
The former president appeared sombre in court, sitting in a dark suit and red tie with his arms crossed.
Trump's co-defendant, Walt Nauta - a close aide charged with six criminal counts in the case was sitting at the same table as the former president and also pleaded not guilty.
Trump, 76, was allowed to leave court without restrictions, after prosecutors told Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman the defendant was not considered a flight risk.
Trump, a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination was driven to court by a motorcade from the Trump National Doral resort where he spent the night.
