Trump Ordered to Appear in Federal Court in Miami on Tuesday Following Indictment

Trial Date Set for May 20, 2024

Special Counsel Jack Smith's Investigation into 2020 Election Continues

Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday following an indictment by a federal grand jury. The indictment stems from Special Counsel Jack Smith's ongoing investigation into the 2020 election.

The trial is scheduled to take place on May 20, 2024, just months before the presidential election. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has called the charges a "witch hunt."

According to the indictment, Trump is accused of mishandling classified materials and promoting lies about the outcome of the 2020 election. The allegations include that Trump took classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office and that he pressured officials to overturn the results of the election.

The indictment is the third against Trump since he left office. He is also facing charges of incitement to insurrection for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and of obstruction of justice for his efforts to interfere with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump has denied all of the charges against him and has said that he is being politically targeted. He has also accused the Justice Department of being biased against him.

The trial is expected to be closely watched as it could have a major impact on Trump's political future. If he is convicted, he could face significant prison time.
