Trump’s Secret Service detail is collaborating with New York Police and the Manhattan DA’s office to securely escort him into the courthouse
onald Trump didn’t choose to be indicted. He didn’t pick the date he’d have to show up in court. But once the Manhattan District Attorney filed charges against him, he began to choreograph the spectacle that would follow.
Trump’s legal team spent the weekend negotiating the details of how and when Trump would turn himself in. The former president plans to spend the night in Trump Tower in Midtown before surrendering himself at the lower Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday, where he will be arraigned and forced to provide fingerprints and pose for a mug shot. Though New York does not normally release mug shot photos, Trump’s is widely expected to leak.
Security throughout the day will be intense, with the streets around the courthouse blocked off. Trump’s Secret Service detail is collaborating with the New York Police Department and the Manhattan DA’s office to securely escort Trump into the building. Once he enters the doors, he will be under the domain of New York authorities and the court, according to Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service.
The case centers on Trump’s alleged role in making hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to stop her from going public with an affair she says they had. The allegations originate from his former attorney Michael Cohen, who claims that Trump knowingly falsified financial records to conceal a payout of $130,000 to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. In exchange, she agreed not to share her story to the National Enquirer on the eve of the election.
Trump has called Bragg an “animal” and a “psychopath” on social media and has warned that his criminal prosecution could lead to civil unrest. Sources say that Trump’s remarks will hit hard on his accusation that Bragg is pressing charges against him out of political motivation, an attack that is designed to gin up righteous indignation and a sense of persecution among MAGA die-hards.In that vein, Trump wants to turn his indictment into a larger symbol, connecting himself with conservative Americans who feel targeted or alienated for their views.
