On Monday, as he prepared to face charges resulting from an investigation into hush money payments made to a porn star before the 2016 election, former US President Donald Trump boarded an aircraft in Florida and travelled for New York City.
Trump was scheduled to turn himself in at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office on Tuesday. He will probably be fingerprinted before appearing before a judge for an arraignment where he will enter a not guilty plea. New York has taken security precautions, and the mayor has warned any potential troublemakers to keep their mouths shut.
The only former US president to face criminal prosecution is Republican candidate for president in 2024, Donald Trump.
Todd White, a well-known white-collar criminal defence attorney and former federal prosecutor, has been added to Trump's legal team to strengthen it, according to two persons with knowledge of the situation.
