Former President Donald Trump will make his first appearance in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday afternoon on criminal charges tied to the Stormy Daniels “hush money” payment — marking an unprecedent moment in US history.
Trump, 76, will face a historic booking and arraignment after he surrenders to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office downtown in the early afternoon.
He’ll be fingerprinted and likely have his mugshot taken before his scheduled 2:15 p.m. hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court, sources have said.
Trump became the first US president to be hit with criminal charges Thursday when a grand jury convened by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg voted to indict him in connection to a six-figure payment made to Daniels in the lead up to the 2016 election.
The ex-commander in chief is said to be facing more than 30 counts of falsifying business records, including at least one felony charge, though the indictment won’t be unsealed until the arraignment.
Trump isn’t expected to be wearing handcuffs when he is escorted into the courtroom, according to sources.
