Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has announced he will deliver remarks at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening, the day he is expected to be arraigned in New York.
The campaign notice said he will speak at 8:15 p.m. EDT. The event is open to media.
His arraignment is expected to take place earlier in the day, and will consist of him being charged, having a mugshot taken, and being fingerprinted, according to the DailyMail.
The indictment is expected to be made public for the first time on Tuesday, which will reveal the exact charges that District Attorney of New York Alvin Bragg has filed against Trump.
The remarks will be his first public speech since his indictment on Thursday.
The former president has issued written statements about the indictment, blasting it as political persecution and election interference. Trump said, as reported by Breitbart News:
From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement,” Trump said in a statement responding to the news he has been indicted.
