Trump to be arraigned in Manhattan in alleged hush money case

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump will be arraigned Tuesday in New York, with new details expected about charges he faces stemming from an alleged 2016 hush money scheme and potentially other matters.

Trump traveled from Florida to New York on Monday with his Secret Service detail and political and legal teams, including newly hired lead counsel Todd Blanche, a top white-collar criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor. Supporters and protesters awaited the former president behind steel barricades when he arrived at Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.

Trump was indicted last week by the Manhattan grand jury following an investigation into a $130,000 payment made by his former attorney Michael D. Cohen to adult film actor Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election. The money was allegedly paid to prevent Daniels from publicly saying she had an affair with Trump.
