Trump traveling to South Florida as history-making court appearance approaches in classified docs case

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:30:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump was traveling to Florida on Monday ahead of a history-making federal court appearance this week on dozens of felony charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified documents and thwarting the Justice Department’s efforts to get the records back.Trump’s Tuesday afternoon appearance in Miami will mark his second time since April facing a judge on criminal charges.

He’s ratcheted up the rhetoric against the Justice Department special counsel who filed the case, calling Jack Smith&...
