Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Kristen Welker in Washington, as the focus of the political world right now is on South Florida, where Donald Trump is set to be arraigned in a federal courthouse in Miami

less than 24 hours from now on 37 felony counts tied to his mishandling of classified documents.

This was the scene just a few moments ago as the former president arrived at his club in Doral,

Florida, where he'll spend the night. Mr. Trump landed in Miami less than 90 minutes ago,

following a weekend of fiery remarks, lashing out at the charges facing him,

lashing out at President Biden at the Justice Department, and at Special Counsel Jack Smith.

The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration's weaponized

Department of Injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country.

Many people have said that. Democrats have even said it.

This vicious persecution is a travesty of justice.

These criminals cannot be rewarded.

They must be defeated. You have to defeat them.

Have to defeat them. Because in the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you.

And I'm just standing in their way. Here I am. I'm standing in their way. And I always will be.

Law enforcement officials, meanwhile, are ramping up security around the courthouse.

The former president is calling for protests, and we have seen some isolated instances of

highly incendiary rhetoric online and from some of his fiercest defenders.

But so far, there don't appear to be any plans for violence or large-scale disruptions.

This afternoon, the mayor of Miami spoke to reporters as the city braces for tomorrow's

events.

We obviously believe in the Constitution and believe that people should have the right to express

themselves, but we also believe in law and order.
