A defiant Donald Trump will once again be in the spotlight when he appears at a federal court in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, making him the first former US president to face federal criminal charges as he campaigns for another White House run.
Trump over the weekend made his first public appearance since being indicted on 37 criminal counts tied to his handling of classified documents, telling an audience of Republicans that the charges were “ridiculous and baseless”.
