美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普星期二就37项联邦指控在佛罗里达州迈阿密的一家法院出庭应诉。

The current presidential candidate told the judge in the case that he is not guilty of all charges.

这位现任总统候选人告诉该案法官，他对所有指控不认罪。

The charges are related to classified government documents that he took after leaving the White House.

After appearing in court and making his plea, the court released Trump with no restrictions² on his movement.

The charging document, called an indictment⁴, said that the former president showed "classified documents to others" two times.

The indictment says that, once Trump was no longer president, he was not permitted to have or keep classified documents.

On Friday, Smith said while announcing the charges, "We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everybody."

He added that Trump, like any defendant⁹, must be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Smith noted¹⁰ that laws protect national defense information and are important to the safety and security of the United States.

And Smith said his office would seek a speedy trial before a jury of Florida residents.

At Tuesday's hearing, the judge ruled that Trump cannot talk with witnesses about the case, except through his lawyers.

在周二的听证会上，法官裁定，特朗普不能与证人谈论此案，除非通过他的律师。

After the hearing, Trump stopped by a bake shop where supporters sang "Happy Birthday" to him.

听证会结束后，特朗普在一家面包店前停下来，那里的支持者为他唱了《生日快乐》歌。

Trump, who will turn 77 on Wednesday, said, "Some birthday… We've got a government that is out of control."

特朗普将于周三迎来77岁生日，他说：“某个生日……我们的政府已经失控了。”

In March, a government lawyer in the state of New York charged Trump with 34 counts of criminally falsifying business documents.

今年3月，纽约州的一名政府律师指控特朗普犯有34项伪造商业文件的刑事罪名。

That indictment made Trump the first former president to face criminal charges.

In May, a jury in New York City found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation¹¹ of a writer E. Jean Carroll.

今年5月，纽约市的一个陪审团裁定特朗普性侵和诽谤作家简·卡罗尔的罪名成立。

The former president's lawyers are seeking a new trial in that case.
