Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson, and this is five things you need to know Wednesday the 14th of June, 2023.

Today, we recap the historic arrangement of former President Donald Trump, plus inflation slows,

and airlines are taking more data from passengers.

Donald Trump yesterday became the first president, former or current, to be booked on federal criminal charges in the country's 247-year history.

0:48.0

I spoke with USA Today Justice Department correspondent Bart Jansen to recap a historic day.

0:55.0

Hello Bart.

0:56.0

Thanks for having me.

Bart, what did we learn in Miami yesterday?

1:00.0

The most important thing was Trump pleading not guilty to 37 counts.

2:10.0

And so it would have been very difficult to just say no contact whatsoever.

2:15.0

So there was some haggling in the courtroom, and what they agreed upon was that he should not talk to Nauta or other witnesses about the case.

2:24.0

The government is going to draft up a list of names of potential witnesses, and so he will presumably agree not to talk with those other witnesses about the case.

2:33.0

Now, whether you think that hanging around with the same people every day, whether the subject of the case comes up, that's what we'll have to see going into the future.

Are you and I had talked about possible security concerns in South Florida around this hearing.
