Trump has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence and accuses Democratic President Joe Biden's administration of targeting him.
During a stop at Versailles, a Cuban restaurant, after the hearing, Trump told supporters that the United States was "rigged", "corrupt" and "in decline".
"We've got a government that's out of control," he said. Florida's Cuban-American community is a substantial Republican voting bloc in the politically competitive state.
He then flew back on his private jet to his New Jersey golf club, where he was due to address supporters at 8.15pm EDT.
Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is handling the case, accuses Trump of risking national secrets by taking thousands of sensitive papers with him when he left the White House in January 2021 and storing them in a haphazard manner at his Mar-a-Lago Florida estate and his New Jersey golf club.
Photos included in a grand-jury indictment released last week showed boxes of documents stored on a ballroom stage, in a bathroom and strewn across a storage-room floor.
Those records included information about the secretive US nuclear programme and potential vulnerabilities in the event of an attack, the indictment said.
The 37-count indictment alleges Trump lied to officials who tried to get them back.
It also alleges Trump conspired with Nauta to keep classified documents and hide them from investigators. Nauta has worked for Trump at the White House and at Mar-a-Lago.
REPUBLICAN VOTERS, RIVALS LINE UP BEHIND TRUMP
Trump's legal woes have not hurt his standing with Republican voters.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday showed Trump still led rivals for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election by a wide margin, and 81 per cent of Republican voters viewing the charges as politically motivated.
Most of Trump's Republican presidential rivals have lined up behind him and accused the FBI of political bias, in a sharp turn from the party's traditional support for law enforcement.
Vivek Ramaswamy, one of those candidates, said outside the Miami courthouse that he would pardon Trump if he were elected.
