As expected, Trump’s lawyers pleaded not guilty on his behalf for the 37 charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents.
“We most certainly enter a plea of not guilty,” Trump attorney Todd Blanche told the judge.
Throughout the hearing, Trump sat hunched over with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. He did not speak.
On his way back to Mar-a-Lago the disgraced former President made an unannounced pit stop at the Cuban restaurant Versailles, where supporters waited for him.
“Food for everyone,” Trump told those gathered as they cheered.
At one point, Trump’s supporters sang him “happy birthday.” Trump’s birthday is on Wednesday.
“Some birthday, we got a government that is out of control,” Trump could be heard saying.
