The extraordinary scene in Manhattan will mark the first time a former US president will face criminal charges
Donald Trump is set to appear in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday, an extraordinary scene that marks the first time in American history a former US president has faced criminal charges.
Trump, the 45th president of the United States and the leading contender for the 2024 Republican nomination, will enter the lower Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday as a defendant, surrounded by Secret Service agents. Upon his arrival, Trump will be arraigned, fingerprinted and possibly photographed. Though defendants charged with felonies are typically handcuffed, one of Trump’s lawyers has indicated that he does not expect that to occur.
