Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has been arrested at a Miami courthouse; Trump turned himself in Tuesday afternoon.
He was not cuffed and there was no mugshot.
From CNN:
Deputy marshals have booked the former president and take electronic copies of his fingerprints during Tuesday’s proceedings. They were not expected to take a mugshot of Trump, given his recognizability.
Trump’s aide and co-defendant, Walt Nauta has been arrested, fingerprinted and processed.
The criminal charges in the Justice Department’s classified documents case escalates the legal jeopardy surrounding the 2024 GOP front-runner.
Tuesday’s hearing, at 3 p.m. ET in Miami, is expected to be procedural in nature. Trump will enter a plea, there will be a discussion of the conditions of his pretrial release, and it’s possible that potential restrictions around Trump’s conduct as the case moves forward are brought up.
Trump’s final TRUTH before entering the courthouse said “ON MY WAY TO COURTHOUSE. WITCH HUNT!!! MAGA.”
