Trump denies accusations and promises to run for president in 2024
despite both incidents
Former US president Donald Trump has been
taken into custody by authorities at the federal courthouse in Miami. He is
currently on his way to the arraignment, where he is expected to plead not
guilty.
Trump's arrest comes after he was indicted 37 times for
mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. This
second indictment comes just months after Trump was charged by a Manhattan
grand jury in a separate hush-money case.
According to CNN, Trump has vehemently denied the accusations
and promised to continue running for president in 2024 despite them in both
instances. He is scheduled to speak Tuesday night after arriving at his New
Jersey resort, Bedminster.
On his way to the courthouse, Trump
posted on Truth Social, announcing that he was on his way, saying, "On my
way to the courthouse. Witch hunt!!! MAGA," the former president posted in
all caps.
Following Trump's post on social media, his aide Steven
Cheung tweeted a short video clip showing the motorcade appearing to leave
Trump's Doral property on the way to the Miami courthouse.
"President
Trump on the way to fight the witch-hunt," he tweeted.
