the man himself staying behind closed doors through most of the day, leaving his supporters to do most of the talking for him. i think these charges are . a not a legitimate charges. i think what is happening right now in our nation is very sad and i feel that the direction that we are headed is very dangerous since the manhattan district attorney's office, confirmed trumps indictment over hush money payments to a former adult film star speculation has amounted over how trumps arraignment will play out? they've got nothing and its potential effect on the country. trump's lawyers say bill vigorously fight the charges and framed the indictment as political persecution. it's believe trump will surrender on tuesday, and it's expected he will arrive here at the district attorney's office, where he will have his photograph and finger prints take him. he will be in walked down a long,

whole way to make his 1st court appearance at an arraignment when he is free to leave. the big question then is, will trump come outside to address the media? one person, apparently unwilling to be drawn into the debate current u. s. president joe biden. ah, you for the bottom. you don't all know common outside the district attorney's office. the wait is on now just days away from a former president to show up and surrender to face the judicial system that is waiting for him. gabriel's dondo al jazeera new york, all trumps lawyer says the case is politically motivated. this is a historic case, a monumental case case, but will have wide reaching ramifications and it, it really to day in i feel very concerned about the rule in this country course. it endangers the rule of law for all americans to dates donald trump,

and also that of our home. with my hand on my heart, ecuadorian, i reiterate to you, i am innocent. this week the country's constitutional court gave the go ahead for the impeachment proceedings against the conservative former banker. the court accuses him of allowing corruption in the country state oil companies. and it comes as last struggled to tackle a surgeon violent crime and worsening economic problems. he now faces a vote in a hostile congress, an abysmal approval ratings. even conservative observers in the country say it has become increasingly hard for any political sector to defend them. what was that? was your political? should i made you? this impeachment trial is happening after law, so suffered heavy defeats and local elections and in a referendum last month, among a worsening security crisis. there is also a crisis in the health system. yeah. and i think the generalized discontent might play a role in pushing legislators to make a political decision more than a simple judicial one villa,
