WASHINGTON (AP) — A former top aide to Donald Trump has appeared in federal court in Miami for testimony to a grand jury investigating potential classified-document mishandling and obstruction at the ex-president's Palm Beach property.

Taylor Budowich confirmed his appearance on Twitter, saying he had testified fully and honestly, though he dismissed the investigation as a "bogus and deeply troubling" effort to "get" Trump.

Budowich served as a spokesman for Trump after his presidency and now runs a pro-Trump super PAC. The Florida grand jury is separate from a panel that has been meeting in Washington for months.
