or go online to gotham set dot com. phil mattingly at the white house, and this is cnn. mm hmm. about an hour from now. former president trump is expected to take off from florida and head to new york, where he will become the first former president in the united states history to face criminal charges and be arraigned in court. what we're learning this hour about the security threat as new

york's mayor and the nypd commissioner. prepares to address the media, drinking water and autism. a groundbreaking new study looks into the potential link and risks for pregnant women and their unborn babies. plus tonight is the night will it be yukon or san diego state? what you need to know before the final game of what has been a wild march madness, these major stories and more all coming in right now. to cnn news, central . live pictures now from palm beach airport in florida, where next hour former president donald trump is set to be wheels up and on his way here to new york city for historic moment. he is expected to be arraigned in a manhattan court tomorrow. we're getting new details of how this process will play out. the new york city mayor and the nypd commissioner will make a public safety announcement. the next

hour, and donald trump is the first former president to face criminal a criminal indictment. all of this is connected to his alleged role in a hush money payments scheme and cover up involving adult film star stormy daniels. as of this moment, the actual grand jury indictment is under seal. cnn has asked the judge to release it. trump's legal team says they plan to challenge every potential issue in that document. cnn's keras canal is outside the court in new york city for us kara officials in new york are set to make a public announcement that we're just hearing the commissioner and the mayor. what are you learning? yes sarah. that's right. so just about it noon, eastern new york city mayor and the nypd commissioner are expected to make an announcement to address the public about the security measures that are in place for trump's arraignment tomorrow. sources tell brin ging grass that there are no credible threats against the courthouse or in the area and there's no

threat of disruptors, but they will give the public a briefing of what to expect now behind the scenes. there's a lot that's also happening. there's restrictions on the 15th floor in the courthouse. behind me over my shoulder. that is where the former president will be arranged. come in self surrender midday and they were speeding up this process. he may or may not have a mug shot taken. there are questions about that is likely to be fingerprinted. and then he will walk down a public hallway where other defendants everyone from drug dealers to his former chief financial officer and go into the courtroom and faced the judge. that's when the judge will ask him to enter a plea in trump's attorneys say that he will plead not guilty. from there. trump is expected to head back to the airport and then back to mar-a-lago, where he said he will address the nation at 8 15. sarah yeah, arrangements are regular course of business for the courts, but not this one. can you give us a sense of what trump's legal team has been saying they have done a media blitz over the last few days? yeah, they certainly have

. their main point here is that they are going to look for every possible way to launch a legal challenge in this case, going ahead that they're putting forward an aggressive posture. now one thing that one of trump's attorneys joe tacopina, he was on cnn yesterday, i'm saying, you know just how aggressive they're going to take this. take a listen. we will take the indictment. we will dissect it. um, the team will look at every every, um, potential issue that we will be able to challenge and we will challenge and of course, i very much anticipated motion to dismiss coming because there's no law that fits this. so they're looking to take a bunch of legal angles here motions to dismiss also possibly challenging the statute of limitations. in this case, what other matters now? the one thing, though, is that those motions will happen a bit down the road because they have yet to see what this specific charges are in this indictment in cnn and other media organizations have asked the judge to unseal that the judges has a deadline for both sides

that trump and the d a to respond at one pm, we could see the specific charges in the indictment unsealed later today, sarah carol's canal. thank you outside of the court there in new york. i want to bring in cnn national correspondent kristen homes you are in west palm beach, florida as we can see, with the wind and the water behind you. the president is set to take off and i think less than an hour. what are you learning about his plan? sarah that's absolutely right. so we are waiting to see him leave his mar-a-lago home. he will be traveling with a small group of aides, including his top campaign advisers, suzy wiles and chris loss of ada. they will be traveling by motorcade to the airport, which is close by and then flying into laguardia on trump's private plane, and they are expected to land around three o'clock. then we are told trump will go to trump tower was actually just told by a source that he is likely to meet with his lawyers. while he is in trump tower. he will spend the night there before heading to

the courthouse on tuesday. now as you noted, and as karen noted, he will come back almost immediately after that arrangement to deliver remarks. we will be there at mar-a-lago at his resort, and i am told by sources, this will be the former president's opportunity to really take control of the narrative. of course, we have heard him from the last several weeks, calling this a political witch hunt a hoax, but this will be the first time that we actually see him respond. to the charges as we all learn them on tuesday afternoon, that's when we're expected to actually learn what they are. all right, krista holmes. thank you. there live from west palm beach, kate. so there is no doubt the decision to indict has elicited a strong reaction across the political spectrum. new cnn polling shows many americans believe politics played at least some role in the decision to indict donald trump. take a look at this, 52% say. politics played a major role, and you see, 23% say, a minor role. some think no role, and there's also an element of

people still really are not sure. cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now from much more on this, jeff . many people think people that politics played some role in this indictment. but how many people of how many people that were pulled actually approve of the indictment? okay this is so interesting. of course, you cannot divorce politics from any of this because we're talking about the former president here . who, of course, is a current candidate for the white house. but when you look at the findings of our new poll, take a look at this 60% of americans, some six in 10, americans support the overall indictment here and 40% are against it. that's largely driven by sort of some common views from republicans. of course, they're opposed. democrats support but independence largely follow this rule. so that is so interesting that 60% support and we should be clear. would you not know exactly what is in the indictment? this is just based on the broad confines of a familiar storyline of a hush money payment that we've been talking about for more than six

years now. so six in 10, americans support that, but there is so much more interesting findings in our poll this morning that really speaks to the dynamic of the politics going to this, kate. the only unsurprising thing in this is that it shows that the nation is remains. so divided, especially when it comes to donald trump. but what what is it? what are you seeing in this poll in terms of the overall impact the impact on the country the impact on democracy? we should talk about the historic nature of this. yes this is a really run of the mill indictment, but former president has never been indicted and arraigned. so the next 48 hours are going to see something in the country we have never seen before. so when you talk about democracy, take a look at these numbers. what do you think about the strength of democracy and 31% of americans say that it strengthens it. 31% say it weekends 23% it has no effect at all. so divided americans clearly divided among party

lines and familiar lines on this, but this is a historic proceeding. no questions so we cannot not take stock of all of that. but there is no doubt as we go forward here. democracy is at the core of this and the he obviously has other cases pending in georgia and in federal court as well. so this is something that will be a through line of all this conversation today, kate. that's that is and that is a great point. it's good to see you, jeff. thank you so much. john a week after the deadly shooting at the covenant school in nashville. students are now calling for stronger gun laws in tennessee. stanley old school hard work k bold new thinking. o hehelp you see untapped possibilities and relentlessly work with you to make them real. in a small to mium sized business, you m qualify for themployer retention tax

aisle live in ukraine. i'm dr sanjay gupta. ward, palestinian denver. you're looking at live pictures from palm beach, florida obviously a shot from a helicopter that is mar-a-lago, the home of former president donald trump. where in just about 45 minutes, maybe even less. he will be leaving. he will head to the airport in that plane he is going to take off from said airport and fly here to new york city where i'm standing where he will be arraigned tomorrow. those are live pictures. his plane at the palm beach airport. of course, that plane became famous in the 2016 campaign that is the plane he'll take up here to face one of the biggest legal challenges of his entire life here to discuss that cnn secret senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig kelly, we

were just looking at pictures of donald trump's plane. he's coming here today are christian homes just reported. when he gets here, he's going to go to trump tower where he will meet with his lawyers. you are an attorney. what do you say to your client who is going to be fingerprinted tomorrow to start with the basics job? let's remember. this is a first for donald trump. he has been sued. he has been subpoenaed. he has been deposed. he's been impeached twice, but he's never had to stand at the criminal defendants table in a courtroom and so i would prepare him for that. i would explain to him you will probably be fingerprinted. you might be mug shotted. let's get ready for that in court. what's going to happen is the judge will advise you of the charges. against you, and then you will enter your plea, which will be not guilty. then we're going to set bail. i expect the judge to release you. and then we'll set the calendar going forward, so you wanted to have the basics and i would advise him to lawyer can only ever advised. please don't say anything other than whatever the judge asks. you hold that. thought for one second. i want to follow up on that. just so

people know we are again looking at live pictures and aerial shot of mar-a-lago. one of the reasons we've been looking at this we've been trying to figure out if there are large crowds gathered outside. there are a few people holding signs who appear to be trump supporters who have been there and other versions of the shot that we've seen, but not not giant masses of humanity waiting for him to depart and come here to new york. you did just say that the lawyers will advise him. don't go off. don't speak unless spoken to. absolutely it's important to keep in mind. all the lawyer can do is give advice . a lawyer cannot force a client to do anything. but it is an absolute no brainer. you do yourself no good whatsoever by speaking publicly about this case in terms of the legal case itself. there may be a different political calculation here. but legally, the best thing you can do is only answer the questions that the judge puts to you all the other stuff. leave it out. all right, so that's in terms of the behavior in the mechanics of tomorrow. we've also been reporting. all of our great reporters have been saying that trump's legal team is going to challenge anything and everything they can. what does

that mean? what will they challenge first? indeed they made no mistake of this over the weekend. i think the first thing they're going to challenge and they've they've forecast. this is if there are charges relating to campaign finance violations if one of the allegations is these hush money payments were actually intended to help trump in the campaign, and they were not reported or they were excessive watch for this argument. the defense lawyers are going to say but we are in new york state court right now. new york state law is what applies, but we're talking about a federal election. the election for president, hence any campaign finance charges, they will argue, are illegitimate and need to be thrown out of this new york state court. what about statue of limitations so typically the statute of limitations, which is the amount of time that a prosecutor has to charge a case from when the conduct actually happened? it's going to be five years for the most part. now we're beyond five years. you may be thinking, oh boy. prosecutors are in trouble, however. there are special laws here in new york state that say you can what we call told the statute of limitations, meaning put it on hold. first of all

while someone's living continuously in another state. the argument be trump was living continuously at the white house and then at mar-a-lago. there also were special laws put in place. to hold the statute of limitations during covid. so i expect that argument, but i think prosecutors are going to prevail there. what do we know about the judge who will oversee this now? i want to be clear. donald trump has attacked this judge very directly. trump's lawyers have it. trump's lawyers have been very careful not to back that up. but who is this judge? and is there a legal basis to question this judge's work on this case, so there's no legal basis to question judge martians impartiality, however, there's a couple of things that are important to know. about the judge. first of all, he is a former prosecutor used to actually work at the manhattan d. a s office. nothing wrong about that. nothing unusual about that many. many judges are former prosecutors. he's been on the bench since 2006. so he's experienced. he really gets rave reviews from both sides of the aisle. prosecutors defense lawyers say he's a totally straight shooter now. the reason

he is on this case. it's not just a coincidence that the same judge who handled the trump org tax trial last year and the allen weisberg case also got this case. there's 50 some judges. it would be remarkable coincidence, it appears that what prosecutors did is filed this case as a related case, meaning okay, this case relates to this prior case. therefore we believe the same judge should be put on it. if that is what was done here, and it appears that it was watch for defense lawyers to challenges. that they're going to say. they're judge shopping essentially, and this case should not go to that same judge. you had this prior case, this case should go back into the wheel for random assignment . so look for that as well. are these challenges ever successful ? yes sometimes they are. i mean, the state and federal campaign finance challenge could well succeed. there's actually no specific law. this hasn't happened before. in new york state, and i think it's a reasonable argument to say new york state law can't cover a federal election. what if any of this happens tomorrow? is there

any opportunity tomorrow for trump's attorneys to get in there and file motions? you don't do that you would not file emotions until after you have the indictment until after you've been arraigned. they may preview it, they may say to the judge. here's some of the motions we believe we're going to bring, but the time for motions is a bit down the line. first things first. you get a rain tomorrow. then you start to get covering which means you get to see as any defendant the prosecution's evidence. it's an open book here. prosecutors have to turn over all evidence. good bad, indifferent, and then we'll get into motions and that's where we'll see those motions. by the way. none of us knows what's in this indictment. this could be a little bit of a different story tomorrow when we finally know what's in there. of course we have filed. cnn has to see the indictment today. no word yet on that, ellie, hold a great to have you here. thank you very much. kate to follow the historic indictment of former president donald trump. you're looking at live pictures in west palm beach, florida right now, as we await donald trump's departure, where he's

rizal is joins us now once again from nashville, isabel. more people gathering around you than we saw. when when, when we last saw you last hour. what are people there telling you. hey good morning to you, kate. it started with a moment of silence at 10 13 am local time here, and that's important because that's the precise time that the 1st 911 call came in at the covenant school, warning police about an active shooter. now we've seen this massive crowd coming in sharing stories on a megaphone. and over here, holding up signs saying, am i next ban guns, not books. our kids are braver than our politicians. they're sharing these stories outside of the state capital here, demanding gun safety and you'll see two as a wearing red and honor of those six victims, half of which were just nine years old. i want you to. now listen to what a march for our lives organizer had to say. but if legislators really

wanted to protect our kids, they would take action against what is killing every single day. so our message to everyone here today is we know it's not drag queens. we know it's not books that is harming our children. it's guns and we need action today. tennessee is an open carry state. it has no red flag law, which would allow a judge to temporarily seized guns away from somebody who is believed to be a threat to themselves or to others. however we did hear from the police chief john drake, that in this particular shooting, they did not know about the shooter's emotional disorder, and they did not believe that the shooter was a threat before the shooting actually happened. law enforcement were never called to hail. and hail audrey hill was never institutionalized. now. we did also hear from governor bill lee, according to reporting from the tennessee seeing that he is proposing increasing school security by putting up armed security at every single public

school and bringing up funding to assist private schools with doing the same, although they are not forced to take part. of that funding. now the organizer that i spoke with said that that is not enough. adding more guns to school does not get to the root costs, the rot that is causing so many children to be so afraid to just go and learn and go into their classroom and be a part of the school environment, okay? those images from last week it was showing still. bring chills whenever you see them, isabelle, thank you very much. sarah. we're continuing to monitor palm beach county, florida, where at any moment former president trump is expected to leave mar-a-lago and head here to new york for his arraignment tomorrow or following it and all the live developments coming up next. t mobile. your business will save over 1000 bucks. what are you going to do with it? i could use a new sign. with t mobile for

date has been set for a hearing on this appeal, which is currently being held in the notorious notorious pre detention facility in russia, and he faces up to 20 years in prison on espionage charges in a phone call yesterday between secretary of state tony blinken and his russian counterpart sergei lavrov, blinken called for his immediate release. joining me now is bill richardson, the former u. s ambassador to the united nations has been involved in many negotiations for detained americans overseas, including helping with the successful release of trevor reid and brittney griner from russia. ambassador it's good to see you. thank you for coming in this news that herskovitz has filed an appeal. is this just part of the process? what does this mean? well, this is part of the process is a good process that they're following. i think what is encouraging is that the secretary of state at his level called secretary, uh, of state

or russia. uh that is very important. keep it at a very high level. they hadn't been in touch in a long time. sir j. lavrov the foreign minister is a pragmatic person. i dealt with them when i was ambassador to the u. n he was the russian ambassador to the u. n. but this is this is positive at that level now the process of appeal when the hearing is this is normal. this is russian delay tactics. russian uh they've leveled this unfortunate arrest. to two very disturbing level, raising the stakes enormously. last night, you had not been in touch with the gersh devic family. if they do, ask for your help, ambassador as so many families have. what's what do you tell them? what's the first thing that you you tell them they need to do here. well what i what? what i would do and i'm

not seeking this because, but we have to have contact with the families. my foundation works for families at no cost to them . we take no money. um we coordinate with the administration. we don't have to get their approval to get involved. we have worked with him on the past as you mentioned , but right now the family is going through a very traumatic moment because they got all these people calling them all these pressures. but i think the fact that the secretary of state at his level calling lavrov also including paul whelan, which is the forgotten navy guy out there , he's been there for years wrongfully detained, but it's gonna take a very tough negotiation. i think outside actors have to be part of this. it can't just be official channels, but the fact that it's at the highest level lavrov and the secretary of state have not talked enough. ah i think this

is good at this level. let's see what happens. and let's see what happens is exactly right. i mean, you've seen this process so many times you mentioned paul whalen. what does this case now dealing with herskovits? what does it mean? to the efforts to bring paul leyland home. well. why did the russians take evan, the wall street journal reporter ? three reasons. one uh, espionage charges for the russians like ball wheeling. this is the maximum, of course, that they always exact. this is a bargaining chip on their part . secondly i think they were upset at the detention of a russian by the justice department. third i mean the general state of relationship. it's so rocky between the united states and russia, and i don't know how much contact is going on. i think it's important to keep these humanitarian issues separate from the geopolitical issues on russia and ukraine, and i believe the secretary of

state making this phone call after a long time that they haven't talked at that level with sir j. lavrov the russian secretary of state is important . let's see how that plays out, but i think a lot of actors need to be part of this. this is an attack on journalism. i think you guys in the journalistic community and the media community, the journalist community need to be part of a public effort international. it's not just america journalists are being arrested all around the world and myanmar in iran. in venezuela, uh, all over the world. journalists are becoming prey because they're just doing their job and they're criticizing existing governments . so i think there has to be an international effort, a multilateral effort, not just the united states, but the european union, the united nations protect journalists protect ngo workers that are

higher chance of autism in children born to pregnant people exposed to tap water with elevated lithium level. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen, is here. this study didn't show a direct link between the two. but what exactly did it say? sarah. what this study showed is that when moms were exposed to high levels of lithium, their children were more likely to develop autism. in fact, if you look at the moms who had the highest level of exposure, their children were 46% more likely to develop autism. so this is not to say i want to be clear not to say that lithium causes autism at all. no one would say that, but you know, you and i both know so many families affected by autism . those parents want answers about why this happened. opened. to their children. this may possibly be a part of that. answer, sarah. it's really interesting. of course, it's

going to be concerning to people who might say, hey, i guess maybe we should start drinking bottled water. is that something they should be thinking about? it doesn't seem like that really makes a difference. there have been reports that lithium is in bottled water as well. that's really interesting. i think a lot of people don't realize that bottled water is often taken from the tap so that these companies repurpose it. i do want to ask you about how lithium actually gets into the water supply that naturally occurring. it is, sir, i think a lot of people don't know that lithium is in the earth, and so it can get into the groundwater. that's the major source. there's some questions about whether disposing of lithium batteries could or other lithium devices could add to that that's currently being studied to see whether that might be a more minor contributor to lithium and drinking water. elizabeth cohen . thank you so much for that really interesting study and all those details. appreciate it, kate. and then there were two by

that. you mean the two of us sitting right there right there . diego state university takes on yukon for the men's championship. and what a wild ride. it has been. the only person that i want to speak with about any wild ride in sports is christine brennan. it's great to see you, christine, this is the most shows. thank you getting your steps in i well, you know, we need it. um the most unlikely of unlikely lee mad matchups with this men's final. how did we get here? well, lots and lots of upsets. i think san diego state did a great service to the nation by getting rid of alabama and all the trouble there and all joking aside. of course, we're talking about the murder of a young woman and the gun being delivered by one of the players, according to the police, anyway, alabama's gone if they were in this, could you imagine the controversy but at san diego state in yukon yukon is basketball royalty. more for the women. the man it's been nine years since the men have gotten this far. in fact, it's gotten even to the round of 32,

but they're in it or round of 16 sweet 16. so they're in it. they are the favorite. you know what it is. it's their offense, but san diego state has a tremendous defenses we've seen has won every game in the tournament by double digits, so i would think they may be able to do that again. i go back with you contour, a allen and of heidfeld. i mean, if you remember those guys when it was i was in the big east. before you were born. you look the men's game. the finals are gonna be great. can we talk about the women's finals because this tournament for the women was. i thought it was the best i've ever seen. and it was just riveting before during and now after it is, and this is the 50th anniversary of title, nine happy birthday title nine. here's katelyn polantz. this is what america has created an angel reese and the l s u team. i think this is absolutely the greatest. i agree with you, john, the greatest moment for women's sport women's basketball. and i think katelyn polantz will be the most discussed athlete in college sports, male or female over the next and so she plays again and

there could be not just her senior year. but also covid year for her. she could have two more years of her in college. why would she stay in college versus going to the pros? because she'll be able to make more money that l money, name, image and likeness is going to be tremendous and the fact that god for 20 years as you know, i've been harping, and we got to say the word men's that pesky adjective. men's right to. it's not the tournament and the women's. it's the men's and the women's for the respect for women. and look at this. it's incredible, and people are still discussing the controversies. it's all great for women's sports, and i almost can't believe that i lived to see this day. the game is good. the athletes are amazing, and now they've got characters and narratives and controversy. i mean, this is this is good tv. this is good for the sport. tournament players come back for a few years. unlike the prevalence of the one and done and the men's game. well, that's true. we also had the blue bloods. you know you had big schools iowa and l s u big 10 and sec in the final. i think the upsets on the men's side

have made it interesting, but maybe it's kind of like, who are these guys? well you know who these women are playing a game. unlike anything we've seen before. the athleticism of women's basketball is extraordinary. as we've said, the characters the storylines when, when wonderful man difference of mine. who are kind of like, i don't know if i like women's basketball when they're tweeting about. this is the greatest thing they've seen. katelyn polantz is the best thing they've seen pumped to hear that declare victory. well you're of course you're an athlete yourself, and you know those those days where we are now it is just a tremendous thing and the country is embraced women's sports in a way, i well, reminds me back to 1999 and the women's world cup soccer. brandi chastain that moment where? yeah anyone would have wanted to take it to that game back on july 10th 99. i think it's the same here anyone would have on the ticket to that game. that is such a great way to put it. i mean, that was road blocked on my tv yesterday afternoon and evening, and i think that for so many sports fans, they felt the same way.

has blamed the attack on ukraine , calling it a terrorist act despite no evidence yet proving that, plus republican house speaker kevin mccarthy will be hosting a bipartisan meeting with the president of taiwan on wednesday in california, a move that will heighten tensions likely between the united states and china. and actor leonardo dicaprio is expected to testify today in a d. c federal court as a witness for the government against grammy winning musician pras michel. prosecutors alleged that michelle helped malaysian billionaire yolo gain influence with american celebrities and washington power brokers during both the obama administration and the trump administration. low helped fund dicaprio's movie the wolf of wall street, john. so just moments ago, nasa announced the names of the three americans and one canadian set to make a trip to the moon in 2024, i should say around the

moon in 2024, cnn's tom foreman joins me now, tom, who are these lucky for who gets to make this journey? well, you you pegged it right there. there's a lucky for is what they are first. let me talk about what they're going to do to understand why this is so important. what arguments to will do is echo what arguments one did last year spectacular blast off more than a million mile flight around the moon to get a sense of what was like all unproved. here's the difference . these folks on the left there . you see jeremy hansen from canada. he was selected for this mission, one of the many people up there and they will go up and fly around this in a trip that will be 600,000 miles to pave the way there. there's jeremy hansen. right next to him. you will notice was victor glover. he was the pilot for this christina, coke mission specialist who holds the current record for the longest time in space by a woman. and jeremy hansen from canada and reid wiseman is the commander of all

of us. so what are they going to do? they're going to orbit. the moon will be the first lunar trip in more than 50 years. the last time we had been on the moon was 1972 it possibly will be the farthest space trip ever because they may loop far enough out that this would be a record flight out there and then they will come back here and splashdown in the pacific ocean. very very big news on all these folks making this trip john and the timeline is next year. 2024 again. the goal here is to go around the moon. i do think it's very interesting. their orbit will take them, perhaps further than any human has ever been away from earth around the moon with the ultimate goal of landing the year after. yeah, well, yes. that's the goal. i don't think they're gonna meet that. and they've already indicated they may not. this would launch in november of next year, so we're more than a year and a half away from that to turn around and then actually go land on the moon in 2025 is a reach. it is the goal, most

likely it will push down into later years there, so, so that's the goal, but it's just a goal right now. but boy, do they have the right people for this? these are really unbelievably talented aviators from the military. i mentioned christina. coke spending so much time with their. she also spent a year at the south pole. jeremy hansen, the man from the from canada. this is his first flight assignment as an astronaut. so boy, that's a way to start with the big splash. and, interestingly enough, just because you're curious they're all in their forties, so they all have a raw, really strong resume experience in flight and in space, and they will know what they're doing for this incredible, incredible mission and think about it this way for a brief period of time, they will be the only four people. who are that far away from everything that has ever been? that's a remarkable thing to think about invoice. so exciting is very exciting. i will say the fact they're all in their forties makes me resent them just a little bit tom foreman, but they are very lucky. and i

think you're the alternate. you're the oldest 12,000 alternative. tom foreman. great to see you. thank you so much. it is very exciting news. okay already looking for another job on our first day of this one. great thank you so much for joining all of us for this inaugural edition of cnn news. central will be back with you again tomorrow at nine am inside politics with john king is next. hello and welcome to inside politics in washington in for john king any moment donald trump leaves for new york and starts a chain of events that could very well alter american history. tomorrow he goes before new york city judges. a criminal defendant earns the infamy as the first ever former president to hold that title. but any moment now mr trump
