On Tuesday, Trump arrived at the courthouse in Florida in a motorcade of black SUVs. Inside his vehicle, Trump posted social media broadsides against the prosecution insisting he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes.

At the courthouse, Trump's attorney Todd Blanche told the judge, "we most certainly enter a plea of not guilty."

Outside the courthouse, there were hundreds of supporters and anti-Trump protesters along with hundreds of journalists from around the world. Small groups of supporters and anti-Trump protesters occasionally exchanged obscenities.

After the hearing, Trump flew to New Jersey, where he delivered remarks at his golf club in Bedminster on Tuesday night.

"This is called election interference… This day will go down in infamy, and Joe Biden will be forever remembered as not only the most corrupt president in the history of our country but perhaps even more importantly the president who together with a band of his closest thugs … tried to destroy American democracy," he said.
