Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charges related to the alleged improper retention of classified records at his Mar-a-Lago resort. The charges, which include willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements, mark the first time in U.S. history that a former president faces federal criminal charges.
