Donald Trump makes trip from Trump Tower to courthouse for arraignment – video

Donald Trump made his way to a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday to surrender and be arraigned on criminal charges stemming from 2016 hush money payments. Trump left Trump Tower in a motorcade amid a security lockdown to the court a few blocks away, escorted by the Secret Service. The booking and appearance before Judge Juan Merchan should be relatively brief — though hardly routine — as Trump is fingerprinted, learns the charges against him and may plead, as expected, not guilty. Merchan has ruled that TV cameras won’t be allowed in the courtroom. Trump, who was impeached twice by the House but was never convicted in the Senate, will become the first former president to face criminal charges.
