Update (1445ET): After surrendering himself for arrest at the courthouse in Manhattan around 1:30 p.m. ET, former President Trump sat for his arraignment, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over his alleged role in hush money payments to two women toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Former President Trump is being arraigned today on a reported 34 felony counts for falsification of business records in connection with a $130,000 payment made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford).
Trump’s arraignment hearing is set to begin at 2:15 p.m. ET. According to Yahoo‘s Michael Isikoff (of Steele Dossier hoax peddling fame), Trump won’t be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell, or be subjected to a mugshot, after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office consulted with the Secret Service and New York City court officials.
The stated reason for handcuffing defendants is on the grounds that the suspect might be a flight risk or a threat to the district attorney or court personnel, neither of which were judged to be relevant to the handling of a former president protected at all times by a phalanx of Secret Service agents. -Yahoo
On Monday afternoon Trump landed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, after which he spent the night at Trump Tower. His attorneys are expected to immediately file a motion to dismiss.
According to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina, rumors that the judge in the case will impose a gag order on Trump are false.
“Can’t be. Won’t happen. I don’t believe anyone is even looking for that. That would really set ablaze the passions and the tempers that already have been inflamed by this case. People view this as a political persecution,” he said.
