Donald Trump expected to plead not guilty today
ecurity is high across New York City as former President Donald Trump is expected to appear in court for his arraignment later today after he was criminally charged by a Manhattan grand jury.
Following his court appearance, Trump is slated to fly back to Florida where he will give a speech at his Mar-a-Lago home at around 8:15 p.m.Trump’s personal jet—a Boeing 757 which he calls Trump Force One—landed at LaGuardia Airport around 3:30 p.m. on Monday—around 22 hours before he was set to appear in a lower Manhattan courthouse for his arraignment.
Trump is expected to be charged on Tuesday with dozens of counts, but the indictment remains under seal and the charges were not publicly known at the time of the survey. Trump and his lawyers have repeatedly claimed that the indictment is politically motivated. Justice Merchan’s signature is on an official order that allowed Bragg to tell the public on Thursday that the grand jury had voted to indict Trump. That order was released by the court on Friday.President Joe Biden emphatically declined to comment on Friday about his predecessor’s indictment, in the first chance for the current president to address the ongoing case that has sent shockwaves across the country.
