Trump left the courthouse in Miami, where the historic charges related to the handling of classified documents were read to him.
Former President of the United States Donald Trump is currently on his way to his luxury golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. There, he is scheduled to give a statement to his supporters about today’s number of indictments.
Before leaving Miami, Florida, Trump stopped at a Cuban restaurant, where Fox News filmed him surrounded by supporters.
Trump supporters gathered around him to pray. “God loves you!” someone shouted. “Keep fighting!” cried another. Trump smiled and waved to his supporters and declared “food for everyone”.
Trump celebrates his 77th birthday on Wednesday, June 14, which caused supporters to burst into congratulatory song.
– Quite a birthday. We have a government that is totally messed up!, Trump declared.
Trump arrived yesterday at 22:00 Finnish time before the court in Miami, Florida. Before the session began, Trump was fingerprinted and arrested. Trump denied all the charges. The number of charges ended a little before 11 pm Finnish time.
At the court session in Florida, Trump is accused of federal crimes.
Last year, the FBI sought about 11,000 documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The documents redeemed by the FBI contained classified information about, among other things, nuclear weapons, weapons programs and US defense plans. It is the first time that an ex-President of the United States has been indicted at the federal level.
The news will be updated.
