Former President Donald Trump is set to be arraigned Tuesday after his indictment in New York City, court officials said Friday.
Trump’s indictment came after a grand jury probe into hush money paid during the 2016 presidential campaign to squelch allegations of an extramarital sexual encounter. The indictment itself has remained sealed, as is standard in New York before an arraignment.
Since no current or former president had ever been charged with a crime, there’s no rulebook for booking the defendant. Indeed, Trump was asked to surrender Friday, but his lawyers said the Secret Service, which protects him as a former president, needed more time to make security preparations, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
For weeks, court officials and representatives from the district attorney’s office, the New York Police Department and U.S. Secret Service have been discussing logistics and planning for a Trump indictment. The person could not publicly discuss details of the preparations, and thus spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
As Trump ran for president in 2016, his allies paid the women to bury their allegations. The publisher of the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer paid McDougal $150,000 for rights to her story and sat on it, in an arrangement brokered by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
