FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump got a send-off from cheering supporters Monday as he rode from his Mar-a-Lago resort and home in Palm Beach for the flight from Palm Beach International Airport that took him to New York to face criminal charges.
Trump left Mar-a-Lago at about 12:20 p.m. Eastern time Monday. About 15 minutes later, he walked up the back stairs to his plane at the airport. At 1 p.m. he took off. He touched down about two and a half hours later at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, the New York City borough where he spent his childhood, then deplaned and got into an SUV at 3:45 p.m.
The criminal case concerns hush money payments made during his 2016 campaign to conceal a sexual relationship — which he denies — with porn star Stormy Daniels.
