Donald Trump arrested: Former president pleads not guilty in federal classified documents case

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to charges brought by federal prosecutors for his alleged retention of classified documents, obstructing justice, and making false statements.

Trump entered his plea Tuesday during his arraignment before U.S. District Court Magistrate Jonathan Goodman on the 13th floor of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse in downtown Miami. The previous night, Goodman rejected a press coalition motion to permit photographers into the courtroom for the start of the hearing but said there would be a transcript of the proceedings.
