Former US President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 charges stemming from alleged mishandling of sensitive documents.
During Trump’s arraignment Tuesday in a federal courthouse in Miami, his lawyers requested a jury trial.
“We must certainly enter a plea of not guilty,” Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, told the judge.
The hearing was completed at the time of filing this report.

Deputy marshals booked the former president and took computerized fingerprints before his arraignment. They did not take a mugshot of Trump because he is easily identified. The booking procedure took approximately 10 minutes.
Walt Nauta, Trump’s adviser and co-defendant, was also detained, fingerprinted, and processed.
Trump is the first former president to testify in court.
The 45th President of the United States has proclaimed his desire to compete in the presidential election in 2024.
He called the trial a witch hunt by the government of Joe Biden.
