Former President Trump said he plans to plead not guilty but will not make any statement at his arraignment in Miami on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll just say not guilty,\u201d Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Howie Carr on Monday. \u201cI didn\u2019t do anything wrong. I did nothing wrong. Presidential Records Act, it\u2019s not even a criminal event. There is no criminality here. It\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former president has been\u00a0charged\u00a0with 37 counts over his alleged mishandling of classified materials and efforts to block the federal government from retrieving them, according to an indictment unsealed on Friday, the first federal charges against a U.S. president.<\/p>\n
The indictment accuse Trump of retaining high-level defense information after leaving office, sharing it with individuals who did not have proper security clearances, directing an aide to move boxes of documents to conceal them and suggesting his attorney hide or destroy documents or falsely claim that had turned over all remaining documents in his possession.<\/p>\n
Trump left his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey on Monday to head to his arraignment in Miami, where the city is\u00a0bracing for protests. Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said the city is prepared to handle crowd sizes \u201canywhere from 5,000 to 50,000.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The charges came from the investigation of special counsel Jack Smith, who is also investigating the former president over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including those surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
