Former US President Donald Trump will be arrested on Tuesday and informed of 34 felony charges for falsifying business records. A source who has been briefed on the arraignment procedures disclosed that a New York City police arrest report will be prepared, and the charges will be entered into the court system before Trump is formally arraigned on the charges.
Although none of the charges are misdemeanors, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office does not plan to put Trump in handcuffs, a jail cell, or subject him to a mug shot, which are typical procedures for white-collar defendants. This is because they concluded there is no reason to treat a former president protected at all times by a group of Secret Service agents like that.
