Former US President, Donald Trump, on Tuesday was arrested on criminal charges.
He was arrested for arraignment at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse over charges related to money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016 before he took over as America’s number one citizen.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment marks the first criminal charges against Trump, but it’s not the only potential legal trouble in front of the former president, according to CNN.
Special counsel Jack Smith is still moving forward with an investigation into Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump arrived in New York on Monday afternoon, flying up on his jet from Palm Beach. He stayed overnight in Trump Tower, and headed 4 miles south to the courthouse in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon.
Law enforcement in New York and the US Secret Service have been planning for the prospect of Trump’s appearance at the courthouse for weeks.
