Former President Trump to be arraigned in New York Tuesday

Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump will face criminal charges in New York Tuesday. This comes following his indictment last Thursday. This will be the first time a former president in U.S. history has faced criminal charges. "Yeah, this truly is a remarkable event." Former Federal Prosecutor Mark Chutkow compares the media frenzy that could be Trump's trial to the OJ Simpson Trial in 1995. “You had the slow-speed chase of the Bronco. Everything from the arraignment to the trail was wall-to-wall media coverage and we can expect to see something similar here," he said. The state of New York is beefing up its security outside of the courtroom in anticipation of riots or violence. While official charges will not be released until Tuesday, sources believe that Trump is facing around 24 charges connected to alleged hush money paid to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels. The payment itself isn't a crime, but how the former President accounted for it may be.
