MIAMI (AP) — Former President Donald Trump gave a wave and thumbs up to crowds gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami as he left his first court appearance on federal criminal charges.

The restaurant visit was part of Trump’s efforts at counter-programming, as he campaigns again for president and maintains that he has been unfairly targeted. Also on hand Tuesday were journalists from around the world. The international attention and screaming crowds were another sign of the extraordinary nature of the event and the person at the center of it.
