Former President Donald Trump flew from Florida to New York for historic arraignment on Monday. Report says he has been consulting with lawyers ahead of the court appearance.
Trump has been under investigation over hush money paid just before the 2016 presidential election, to an adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He has denied a sexual encounter with the actress.
According to CNN reports, Trump will be arriving at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon. The process is expected to be swift and routine, but it is an historic moment in US history as he is the first ex-US president to face criminal charges. Trump’s arrest will be processed by the district attorney’s office and he will be brought to the courtroom to hear charges against him, says the report.
Extra security measures are already in place with the authorities expecting protests outside the Manhattan court on Tuesday. Report by BBC says dozens of police and court officers, as well as Secret Service Agents are expected to escort Mr. Trump through the streets of New York to the lower Manhattan court complex.
A request by the media to broadcast the arraignment live was rejected by a judge on Monday night. However, five still photographers, will reportedly be allowed to take pictures of Trump and the hearing.
CNN reports stated that the first details of Mr. Trump’s specific charges will be unsealed Tuesday. Mr. Trump is not expected to speak while in New York, but he is scheduled to fly back to Florida following his court appearance and he will hold an event at Mar- a- Lago Tuesday evening.
