BREAKING: Former US president, Donald Trump, has been arrested

Former US President Donald Trump has been formally arrested after his arrival at a New York courthouse where he will become the first former US president to face criminal charges

Trump turned himself over to authorities in Manhattan on Tuesday after a grand jury voted to indict him last Thursday.

Though, the indictment is still sealed, but reportedly includes over 30 charges believed to center on allegations that he falsified business records over the course of arranging a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump flew from Mar-a-Lago to New York City on Monday in preparation for his arrest, and waved at supporters upon exiting the motorcade to enter the courthouse on Tuesday. “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse,” Trump posted to Truth Social before arriving. “Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”

The arrest took place amid a chaotic scene outside the courthouse, with Trump supporters and opponents converging to demonstrate earlier on Tuesday.

The arrest is a moment for the history books, as it’s the first time a former U.S. president has faced criminal charges and the prospect of jail time. Trump pleaded not guilty himself — rather than through his lawyers — at an arraignment later on Tuesday and will fly back to Florida where he will deliver an address from Mar-a-Lago. He entered the courtroom around 2:30 p.m. ET.
