Trump has turned himself in.
According to a report from The New York Post, former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump has turned himself into the Manhattan District Attorney’s office; he’s surrendering for charges relating to alleged hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
From The New York Post:
Trump, 76, defiantly raised his fist as he emerged from his Trump Tower residence in Midtown shortly after 1 p.m. before he was escorted downtown via a motorcade — en route to becoming the first-ever US president to be criminally prosecuted.
Flanked by Secret Service, the 45th president waved before strolling inside the DA’s office in Lower Manhattan, where sources said he’ll likely be fingerprinted — but could avoid having his mugshot taken — ahead of his scheduled 2:15 p.m. arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court.
His attorney, Joe Tacopina, has already said he will enter a “not guilty” plea during the historic hearing.
Unlike Trump’s journey to the courthouse — which was carried live on cable TV — his hearing won’t be broadcast to the masses, the judge in the case ruled on Monday night.
