ALBAWABA - Former U.S. President Donald Trump is due to appear before the federal court in Miami, where he will be facing a number of charges regarding mishandling classified information after leaving the White House in 2020.

Donald Trump will be placed under arrest by deputy US Marshals now that he has arrived at the federal courthouse in Miami, CNN reported.

Trump has been photographed as he arrived at the federal courthouse in Miami in what is accounted for a historic court appearance for a former U.S. president while facing federal charges.

Trump is anticipated to be arrested by US Marshals and taken into custody, where he will have his fingerprints taken but no mugshots will be taken for the records.

As for his initial appearance, Trump will be appearing before Miami Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman for an arraignment hearing along with his lawyers Chris Kise and Todd Blanche.

After the hearing session concluded, Trump pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges pressed against him regarding allegations of mishandling classified records upon his exit from the Oval Office in 2020.

It was seen on social media that a travel ban might be imposed on the former president. However, no official travel ban has been imposed either on Trump or his lawyer.

News outlets reported that Trump is heading to New Jersey and will be holding a rally to address his supporters after concluding the arraignment hearing session in Miami. 

Trump's court appearance is his second in less than three months. He was arraigned in April in New York on charges that he falsified business records for a 2016 hush-money payment to a porn star. But that is a state-level case and much less serious than the one he is now facing, BBC reported.
