What to expect from Trump’s historic federal court appearance in classified documents case

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:57:48 GMT

Molly Crane-Newman | New York Daily News (TNS)Donald Trump is slated to appear in a federal courtroom in Florida on Tuesday — making history for the second time as a former president-turned-criminal defendant — to answer to charges alleging he put the nation and its allies at grave risk by mishandling classified documents.Like at his recent arraignment in Manhattan, the Secret Service will remain by Trump’s side when he surrenders at the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. courthouse in downtown Miami and for the entire time he’s in it.Federal law prohibits cameras in the courtroom, so Trump’s court appearance will feature less imagery than when he appeared in Manhattan in April to face charges related to the Stormy Daniels hush money saga, where photographers shot him walking into the building and the courtroom. He may enter the Miami courthouse underground.Typically, federal defendants are photographed and fingerprinted upon their presentment, though it’s unclear whether Trump will be an exce...

The series, which has published two episodes so far, has appeared to escalate contract tensions between Carlson and Fox.Fox has demanded Carlson stop posting videos to Twitter, The New York Times also reported Monday — as the ne...
