[1/3] People and members of the media gather outside The Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. United States Courthouse, on the morning former U.S. President Trump is to appear there on classified document charges, in Miami, Florida, June 13, 2023.
Several dozen protesters and journalists mingled outside the courthouse while helicopters hovered overhead.
He called Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the prosecution, a "Trump hater" on social media on Tuesday.
Outside the courthouse, a woman carried a sign reading, "I Stand With Trump."
Legal experts say the evidence amounts to a strong case, and Smith has said Trump will have a "speedy" trial.
