Before that, Trump went to the meeting room, accompanied by lawyers. On the way he did not communicate with anyone, there were no handcuffs on him.
The meeting itself will be held behind closed doors. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Mercan banned the videotaping of the indictment process.
“I can’t believe this is happening in America,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social on Tuesday as he walked to court in New York’s Manhattan borough. He also called the situation of his arrest surreal.
Recall that the 45th President of the United States is accused of falsifying financial documents of the Trump Organization when paying 130 thousand dollars to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the middle of the electoral race in 2016. The actress pornographic then had to hide information about the connection to Trump, which she says happened ten years earlier.
Trump is the first ex-president in US history to face charges. It was done on March 30 by a jury called by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Trump called the investigation a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
