MIAMI, June 13 : Former US President Donald Trump has arrived in Florida ahead of a court appearance on Tuesday in connection with the mishandling of classified documents that he carried with him while leaving the White House in January 2021.

On June 9, the Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted Trump with 37 counts in the case, including willful retention of national defence information that ranges from the country's nuclear weapons to attack plans for foreign countries; conspiracy to obstruct justice; withholding a document or record; corruptly concealing a document or a record; concealing a document in a federal investigation; scheme to conceal; and making false statements and representations.

Trump, who is the first former American President to face federal charges, flew in to his Trump Doral resort near Miami on Monday evening from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
