Former president Donald Trump is scheduled to make his first appearance in a Miami federal courthouse at 3 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, after being charged in connection with his alleged storage of highly sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate — and alleged lying and obstructing when federal officials tried to retrieve them.

This is the first time a former president has been indicted on federal charges. Trump, who is running for president again, claims the prosecution by the Justice Department is politically motivated. Federal and local authorities have ramped up security preparations ahead of Trump’s federal court appearance and are expecting pro-Trump rallies outside the courthouse.

Trump’s legal team remains in flux hours before he goes into court.

Former President Donald J. Trump’s legal team remained in flux just hours before he goes to federal court in Miami on Tuesday afternoon.

Christopher M. Kise, a former solicitor general in Florida who joined Mr. Trump’s team last year, filed a formal notice with the court on Tuesday morning, that he plans to accompany the former president. Mr. Trump will also be accompanied by another member of his existing team, Todd Blanche.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Trump was to surrender to federal authorities ahead of a hearing scheduled for 3 p.m. in federal court in Miami. He was to appear alongside his valet Walt Nauta, who is also charged in the case.

Unlike his arraignment in New York, there won’t be photographs from the courtroom because cameras aren’t allowed in federal court. There may, however, be sketch artists, and theirs would be the only images from the actual courtroom appearance.

There’s also a prohibition on reporters bringing electronic devices into the courthouse, so there won’t be live updates by tweet or text. That rule is usually up to to each federal judge, but an order has been issued in this case specifically imposing restrictions for Trump’s initial hearing.
