The former President’s next court appearance has been set for December 4

It was an historic day for the United States.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at the Manhattan Criminal Court for his arraignment on Tuesday.

Surrounded by Secret Service, he was arrested, fingerprinted, and then entered the courtroom where he plead not guilty.

The District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in the first degree.

Bragg campaigned on getting Trump – and has been investigating the 76-year-old for years over alleged hush money payments.

But this comes after federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York previously chose not to charge Trump.

Additionally in 2021, the Federal Election Commission examined whether Trump violated the election law over the alleged payment but also dropped its case.

Bragg claimed during a press conference following the court proceedings that there was an “additional” crime but refused to divulge anything further.

Currently, nearly half of the United States believes he is facing political prosecution.

The leading Republican presidential candidate for 2024, will deliver remarks Tuesday evening from Mar-a-Lago in South Florida.

The Judge did not place a gag order on President Trump.

The next court appearance in this matter has been set for December 4.
