Donald Trump scowled, hunched his shoulders and barely opened his mouth in a Miami federal court Tuesday, as he faced criminal charges in a scene that might have seemed unimaginable a few months ago.
Crossing and uncrossing his arms, and dressed as usual in a dark suit and red tie, the former president listened in silence to the judge and prosecutor, at one point whispering into the ear of his lawyer, Todd Blanche.
A world away from his gilded golf clubs and the Oval Office he occupied for four years, Trump -- through his lawyer -- pleaded not guilty to 37 felony charges related to mishandling of classified documents.
In the case appearing before federal court in Miami, one of several legal challenges casting a shadow over Trump's 2024 presidential candidacy, the Republican stands accused of endangering national security by illegally keeping top secret military plans and nuclear weapons information at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
