Trump Braces for Arraignment and Protests in New York

Former President Donald Trump is expected to surrender to prosecutors in Manhattan next week, becoming the first former president to face criminal charges. The indictment concerns hush money payments made in the final days of the 2016 campaign to Stormy Daniels, a pornographic film star. Trump is expected to enter the criminal courthouse in Lower Manhattan with his Secret Service protection to answer charges before a state judge on Tuesday. The case is likely to test the country’s institutions and the rule of law and will have deep repercussions for the 2024 campaign for the White House, a race in which Trump remains the Republican front-runner.
