TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump and his allies are intensifying efforts to undermine the criminal case against him and drum up protests as the former president prepares for a federal court appearance on dozens of felony charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified information. Trump's appearance in Miami will mark his second time in as many months facing a judge on criminal charges. The Justice Department's first prosecution of a former president concerns conduct that prosecutors say jeopardized national security and involves Espionage Act charges carrying the threat of a significant prison sentence in the event of conviction. Trump called on his supporters to join a planned protest at the Miami courthouse Tuesday, where he will be arraigned on the charges.
