case against him involves a hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 election. trump he was formerly indicted on thursday, is expected to plead not guilty to the charges. is expected that trump will voluntarily surrender, meaning he won't be arrested. he'll be processed as a defendant. when he'll be fingerprinted and have mug shots taken. trump is expected to appear in person for his arraignment on tuesday. next week you'll have the charges against him. read in court, enter a plea, then be released with another court date. he won't have to post bail legal experts say he still at least a year away from actually going to trial. meaning he could be in court during the 2024 presidential election. the u. s. does not bar people from running for office over legal cases. so trump will be allowed to stand is also facing multiple other investigations by the justice department, district attorneys in manhattan and georgia. and a new york attorney general is possible held up in court again in one of those

cases for gabriel alexandro as live for us in new york. and gabriel, i can only imagine the frenzy when this news broke. there in the united states, we don't know the 4 charges are said, but we do know that this is a historic moment. tell us more. it certainly is it, of course, the 1st us president ever to face criminal charges. that's of course the headline that we've been repeating and hearing over and over the for the past. 024 hours or so. since this indictment was handed down, i wanna dig into this indictment a little bit more of exactly what it is because it's pretty complicated on its surface. it's of course this a $130000.00 payment that was made to this stormy daniels on a former adult film star. that in of itself is not a crime. of course. what the did, the grand jury was looking at was

a sequence of other things. for example, it was how that payment was made for the da has been looking into. if trump falsified business records, when he made that transaction, or allegedly made that transaction, or ordered that transaction to stormy daniel's to be made. even if that is proven that is a misdemeanor. so you say, well how's, why is this so serious? and because it could then be a felony. if trump knowingly made this a payment knowingly falsified records in order to cover up another alleged crime, for example, finance for campaign finance laws. so there's a sequence of things here that the da was investigating. and there's a sequence of things that the grand jury indicted donald trump on. we will get once

we are able to see the indictment, which we haven't been able to yet will be able to see in detail all of these potential charges. with that said, trump will, without a doubt and his lawyers will mount a vigorous defense. this is what one of trump's lawyers had to say about that. this is a historic case, a monumental case case that will have wide reaching ramifications and it, it really today in i feel very concerned about the rule of law in this country puts, it endangers the rule of law for all americans to dates donald trump, to march the democrat of the day after it, sir, and wrote your friend the day after that you were me. and that's what concerns we went to prosecutor couldn't use the law and the system to go after political opponent. it's something that frightens me and gave me also know the drums appearance there in new york next week requires a degree of preparation, especially when it comes to security. a very,

very big degree of security. this is involving the secret service which protects. trump protects all ex presidents. it involves the f, b i. it involves the new york police department and it involves security officials at the district attorney's office. and at the court, it is going to be a huge security operation that they have already been looking into for well over a week. now in anticipation of this historic moment of a former president turning himself into authorities at the district attorney's office. that you see behind me it is going to be unprecedented, of course, but complex. do they drive trump to an underground garage and then take them up a back elevator? do they bring him in through the front door? do they not? how do they get him out of this building? will there be protesters either for or against trump? not to mention hundreds of journalists from around the world on the sidewalk where

i am at all trying to get that shot of when trump arrives here. so there are an incredible amount of security that is taking place. they've already started putting up barricades, and all of this is going to just be increasing over the coming days until early next week. when we expect trump will turn himself in. i've certainly will be a huge event in u. s. policy expired. gabriel. amazon don't live in new york many things. oh, with a view from washington d. c. his, she has her times. he the political responses mainly coming on social media because congress itself went into recess on thursday, just hours before the leaks began about the criminal indictment having been, haven't been decided upon. so we're getting the house republicans where there's a huge block of trump, support, largely repeating donald trump's accusations. this is a politically motivated prosecution. we have marjorie taylor green,

a key republican ally in the house so that she will be there on cheese. that is aust other supporters to riley on she is a to protest and protect the constitution against against this legitimate prosecution from the district attorney's office. and that also calls for more investigations or investigations for in congress off the off the manhattan da. because the republican side is all politically motivated and interesting, the now the manhattan d a has responded to those charges off. the indictment being politically motivated by saying we urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw you will demand for installation and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference, unlawful political interference. that's not happening, da, now, saying that the congress has caused more information and potentially in inquiry maybe or lawfulness of this couldn't get any more constitutionally fraud. having said that, when you to look at senate republicans, we're not seeing any,

any comments as yet. and the senate after the mid terms, we've definitely seen amongst the leadership and others, this desire to move on from, from, because they feel that he may be a liability, especially with indictments, no matter what the, what is, what the republican base may think there is that fair amongst other republicans in congress, but when it came to a general election, these indictments, this indictments may be a liability, was you can possibly imagine some of trump supporters of dismiss the indictment and repeated the accusation that the charge is a political put out by the former president and his team, i mean, there's all kinds of skeletons in the closet. and that congress is center good. they do it. they just haven't been caught. i mean, it could happen to me, it could happen view, it could happen to anybody. and i think it's kind of scary and people need to wake up and see this actually, i think it's helping. i think he's going to get more votes. now. i use there
