Former President Donald Trump appeared in federal court Tuesday to face 37 federal felony charges over alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump became the first commander-in-chief to be criminally charged by the federal government, two months after he was indicted in New York in a hush money case.
Of the 37 federal charges, 31 were related to willful retention of national defense information – a crime under the Espionage Act.
Supporters, protestors and media have gathered outside the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. United States Courthouse to witness the historic arraignment.
