Trump

Former president will answer criminal charges related to alleged hush money scheme in Manhattan.

Once the arraignment comes to a close, Trump will almost certainly be released and allowed to return to Florida. Even though the trial is probably still months away, Trump is already planning for a guilty verdict. Once Trump enters a plea, the judge will set a schedule for next steps in the pre-trial process. Tacopina has said he does not expect officers to put Trump in handcuffs, but the former president is likely to be fingerprinted and get his mugshot taken once he surrenders. The New York Young Republican Club has already announced it will hold a rally at a park near the courthouse to protest against Bragg’s “heinous attack” on Trump. On Monday, the former president and current presidential candidate traveled from his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago to New York, where he spent the night at Trump Tower.

Trump, first US president to face criminal prosecution, will hear the charges against him at a hearing in New York City.
