Donald Trump is set to make his first court appearance on charges of hoarding top secret government documents, boastfully displaying them to visitors and trying to hide them from investigators who demanded them back.

Mr Trump approached his Miami court date with characteristic bravado, insisting that he has done nothing wrong and was being persecuted for political purposes.
