In Pics | Supporters gather in Miami as Trump makes court appearance

The US government alleged that Trump has overstepped the Espionage Act and some other laws after several sensitive documents regarding national security were discovered at his residence in Miami. He is accused of withholding the documents from the National Archives purposefully and sharing national security secrets with individuals without clearance.

The picture shows police officers patrolling outside the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. United States Federal Courthouse in Miami to monitor the situation. Federal agents also secured the area surrounding the courthouse for Trump's arrival amid protests, according to a BBC report.

People were seen holding flags, banners and even selling merchandise that read "Not Guilty" in support of Trump. The protesters gathered and chanted slogans to show their support for the former president.

A protester could be seen holding a pig's head in support of Trump, wearing US flag colours. According to reports, the crowd cheered Trump when his motorcade appeared at the Miami court for his hearing. He is accused of a 37-count indictment for mishandling classified documents.

A few people were also seen shouting slogans and opposing Trump's supporters. The counter-protesters could be seen holding posters like "Lock him up" and Trump's morphed image.

After the court hearing, Trump heads to a Cuban restaurant in Miami where a crowd waited for him to arrive. Upon his arrival, Trump greeted his supporters and clicked selfies with them.
