Summary
At a Miami courthouse Tuesday, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts that he allegedly kept classified documents from his time in office. The historic case makes Trump the first-ever former U.S. president to be criminally charged by the federal government. L.A. Times senior legal affairs columnist Harry Litman joins us to talk about what comes next, and the complications ahead.
And in headlines: a Russian airstrike killed at least 11 people in Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown, a newly-released autopsy found that Olympic champion Tori Bowie died from childbirth complications, and Pat Sajak is retiring as host of “Wheel of Fortune.”

| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday June 14th. I'm Trevelle Anderson. |
| 0:04.1 | And I'm one need a telever and this is what a day where we will not be lining up to see the live action remake of Bambi. |
| 0:10.2 | Listen, the live action death of Mufasa was enough. I don't need to see another one. I'm just saying. |
| 0:17.9 | 100% with you. |
| 0:19.3 | Why am I laughing? |
| 0:22.3 | On today's show, the US is sending more military aid to Ukraine. Plus, Pat Sejek is retiring as host of Willa Fortune. |
| 0:38.7 | But first, our top story of the day has to be about Donald Trump, whether we want it to be or not. |
| 0:45.9 | And we don't want it to be FYI. |
| 0:48.4 | I mean, just to keep it 100%. |
| 0:51.7 | But that is because the former president, who is now the first president to ever be charged with federal crimes, |
| 0:57.7 | was a raid in a Miami-Court House yesterday. |
| 1:00.7 | As we've covered at length already, Trump has been indicted in the case regarding classified documents that were seized from Mar-a-Lago. |

| 1:31.0 | And he also intentionally obstructed the government's efforts to reclaim the materials by lying and scheming and wrapping up other people in his mess. |

| 1:45.3 | Nauta is also charged in this case with lying to investigators and scheming with Trump to hide the boxes that contained these classified documents. |
| 1:54.3 | I gotta say, it's one hell of a jump from Navy veteran to Diet Coke Valet to now co-defendant all by the age of 40. |
| 2:01.5 | But, alas, I guess the checks keep on cashed. I don't know. |
| 2:07.6 | While Nauta didn't enter a plea during the arraignment, a legal technicality that we will get into later, Trump did enter a plea and surprise surprise he's going with not guilty, again, for his second indictment. |
| 2:21.8 | As if there is an actual evidence that he is guilty, guilty, guilty, or a loser, loser, loser, as Chris Christie put it on the twitters. |
