Donald Trump Indicted: Former President Surrenders at Miami Courthouse Surrounded by Supporters

Washington Examiner

Former President Donald Trump has arrived at Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. U.S. Courthouse in downtown Miami, the first ex-president to face allegations of federal crimes.

The scene outside the court was first dominated by press Monday but gradually grew to include more supporters of the former president as well some foes celebrating the indictment. Notable allies such as long-shot presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy gave a press conference while conservative activist Laura Loomer spoke to supporters using a megaphone.

Unlike his arraignment in New York last spring, Trump entered the court precinct out of public view. There Trump, along with former White House valet and now personal aide Walt Nauta, who was also indicted by a special counsel Jack Smith-impaneled Miami grand jury, will surrender himself to federal authorities and be processed before his 3 p.m. hearing.
