Former President Donald Trump is set to fly from Florida to New York City on Monday, ahead of his scheduled arraignment related to hush money paid to a porn star before the 2016 election, as security tightens in Manhattan.
Trump, the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges, is due to be arraigned, fingerprinted and photographed at the downtown Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday. His lawyers have said he will enter a plea of not guilty.
A court official said the arraignment was planned for 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Trump then will return to Florida and deliver remarks at Mar-a-Lago at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday , his office said. Other courtrooms on the courthouse's higher floors will be shut down before the arraignment as part of the security precautions, a court official said.
Word of the indictment, arising from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg surfaced last Thursday. Trump has called himself innocent and he and his allies have portrayed the charges as politically motivated. Bragg is a Democrat. Joe Tacopina, a Trump lawyer, said on Sunday he expects more details surrounding the arraignment to be resolved on Monday and noted that the Secret Service, which protects former presidents, also has a role to play on Tuesday.
