Trump pleads not guilty in federal classified documents case – By Jonathan Allen, Dareh Gregorian and Alex Seitz-Wald (NBC News) / June 13, 2023
Trump was indicted last week on 37 counts related to his alleged mishandling of the nation’s secrets.
MIAMI — A stone-faced former President Donald Trump entered a not guilty plea Tuesday to charges he lied and schemed to hold on to sensitive national security material that he was supposed to have surrendered when he left the White House.
Trump, 76, was indicted last week on 37 federal felony counts, including willful retention of national defense information, making false statements and representations, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
In court, Trump, wearing a blue suit and red tie, sat silently with his hands crossed and had a not guilty plea entered by his attorney during the brief proceeding before Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman.
