Donald Trump is expected to turn himself into law enforcement Tuesday and officially become the first former president to face criminal charges when he appears in a Manhattan court after last week’s historic grand jury indictment.
The indictment is also expected to be unsealed Tuesday, providing the public — and Trump’s legal team — with the first details about the specific charges he will face. CNN has reported he will face more than 30 counts related to business fraud following a probe that stemmed from a hush money payment to an adult film actress.

News outlets will not be allowed to broadcast the arraignment, a judge ruled Monday night, rejecting a request by several media organizations, including CNN.
Trump’s legal team has said the former president will plead not guilty and challenge “every potential issue” once the indictment is unsealed. Trump, who has vowed to continue his 2024 bid despite the charges, is slated to fly back to Florida after the court appearance and speak from Mar-a-Lago tonight.
