Trump Calls Supporters to Action as He Prepares for Arraignment on Criminal Charges in Miami – By Claire Hansen (US News) / June 12, 2023
Trump is facing 37 felony criminal counts related to his willful retention and mishandling of classified documents, and what prosecutors say was an ongoing scheme to obstruct justice.
Former President Donald Trump is calling his supporters to action ahead of his arraignment at a federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday on 37 felony criminal charges related to his mishandling of classified documents and obstruction of justice.
The arraignment marks a stunning moment for the country, which will see a former president face federal criminal charges for the first time in history. The scene promises to be chaotic, with intense media interest and expected protests featuring crowds that will likely be fed by the fact that the Justice Department is charging Trump in Florida – where he lives and where he has many supporters – instead of in Washington or New York.
“Our country has to protest. We have plenty of protest to protest. We’ve lost everything,” Trump said Sunday afternoon in a radio interview with his longtime friend and right-wing figure Roger Stone.
