Trump arrives in Florida, officials prep for arraignment
|
Former President Trump arrived in Florida Monday ahead of his arraignment in Miami, scheduled for 3 p.m. ET tomorrow. Trump was federally indicted last week on 37 counts of mishandling classified documents and attempts to prevent the government from recovering them. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) and city Police Chief Manuel Morales gave a press conference on security measures ahead of the arraignment, which is expected to draw thousands of demonstrators (recall the scenes outside the April arraignment in Manhattan following Trump's New York state court indictment). "We hope that tomorrow will be peaceful. We should encourage people to be peaceful in demonstrating how they feel," Suarez said. "And we're going to have the adequate forces necessary to ensure that." He also said there could be road closures and additional traffic downtown. Morales said they're prepared for crowds "anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000." Accompanying Trump on Tuesday will be lawyer Todd Blanche, who stayed on as two other members of Trump's legal team resigned last week. Learn more about Blanche here. A group of media organizations has asked the court to allow photographs and filming in the courtroom right before Trump's appearance, The Hill's Zach Schonfeld reported. Trump denies wrongdoing and has said the charges against him are designed to interfere with his reelection bid. On Truth Social Monday, Trump listed several actions he'd take if reelected, including appointing "a real special 'prosecutor' to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden[.]" Follow The Hill's live blog through Tuesday for arraignment updates |

Tuesday votes test House GOP tensions
|
The House reconvened Monday after a group of Republicans prevented four bills from advancing to the floor last week amid disagreements with leadership, including over House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) debt limit deal with President Biden. And "the real test will come Tuesday," The Hill's Mike Lillis wrote, when the House is scheduled to consider those bills again. The Republicans who opposed a rule that would have allowed the bills to reach the floor have cited concerns about McCarthy's willingness to form a coalition with Democrats and an alleged threat from GOP leadership to block a bill from Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) if he opposed the rule on the debt ceiling bill. Clyde did oppose that rule, though a vote on his bill is also scheduled for tomorrow. "Yet for conservatives demanding major budget reforms — and expressing open distrust in McCarthy to see them adopted — it's far from clear that the Clyde bill will be enticement enough to end their protest and vote for the rules that would allow the floor to reopen for business this week," Lillis wrote.
