Photos capture unprecedented indictment and arraignment of former President Donald Trump
The unprecedented indictment, arrest and arraignment of a former president put Donald Trump in the spotlight of New York's legal system. Dramatic photos from Tuesday, April 4, 2023, document the historic day Trump was arraigned at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in New York City after a grand jury voted to indict him on March 30, 2023. The grand jury heard evidence related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, former Playboy model Karen McDougal and a former Trump Tower doorman during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, and his arraignment sets in motion a long series of legal proceedings that could eventually result in a criminal trial.
