Donald Trump and his aide Walt Nauta are reported to have been formally arrested at the Miami courthouse on Tuesday.
As reported, former US President Donald Trump arrived at the federal courthouse in Miami to formally surrender ahead of his court appearance on charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Former President Donald Trump was placed under arrest by deputy US Marshals and his booking process and that of his aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta have been completed, CNN reported from inside the courthouse.
At the federal courthouse in Miami, Trump will face 37 criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents.
The development marks the second time that Trump has been taken into custody.
Prosecutors have said that Trump’s conduct and statements constituted a “conspiracy to obstruct justice” in order to “keep classified documents he had taken with him from the White House and to hide and conceal them from a federal grand jury”.
As reported, the special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump in a 37-count indictment last week, alleging that Trump mishandled classified documents brought to his Mar-a-Lago resort and engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta, traveled with the former president to the courthouse in a separate vehicle.
Nauta was also scheduled to appear before the magistrate judge today.
