MIAMI — (MIAMI) -- For the second time in two months, former President Donald Trump will be arraigned on criminal charges, this time in connection with his alleged mishandling of top secret documents after leaving office.
Trump was previously arraigned in April after he was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records by Manhattan prosecutors and is awaiting a trial that is expected to begin next year.
"The U.S. Marshals are responsible for the protection of the federal judicial process, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Ensuring that judges can rule independently and free from harm or intimidation is paramount to the rule of law, and a fundamental mission of the USMS," a spokesman for the U.S. Marshal Service told ABC News in a statement.
It's unknown when the next hearing or the trial date will be, but legal experts say based the on venue of the case, the Southern District of Florida, it may be soon. Special counsel Jack Smith also stressed that his office would push for a speedy trial"consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused," during a news conference Friday after the indictment was unsealed.
