Ex- president Donald Trump has been formally arrested and arrived at court ahead of the landmark case.
He made the four mile journey from Trump Tower to the Manhattan courthouse.
Trump, who pumped his fist to supporters, was believed to be headed to a Manhattan courthouse, where he was due to surrender to authorities.
A remarkable reckoning after years of investigations and an extraordinary moment in U.S. history.
He’s expected to be fingerprinted and processed, and his mug shot may be taken.
The booking and appearance before Judge Juan Merchan should be relatively brief — though hardly routine — as Trump learns for the first time the charges against him.
Trump will plead not guilty, according to his lawyers, and is expected to enter the plea himself, as is standard in the court.
It has been ruled that TV cameras won’t be allowed in the courtroom.
