Mixed Reactions in D.C. to Trump's Arrest

The arraignment of former President Donald Trump on charges related to a hush money payoff to an adult-film star was keenly watched by many in Washington D.C. Some were thrilled to see Trump become the first of America’s 46 presidents to be charged with a crime and surrender to authorities, while others viewed it as a political charade or a distraction from more pressing issues. Several bars in town offered happy hour prices and viewing parties during Trump’s afternoon arraignment, while others were feeling more sober about the spectacle of a former president being arrested, fingerprinted, and charged.
