TL;DR Summary

Former US President Donald Trump is set to be arraigned in a New York courtroom on Tuesday, marking the first time a former president has faced criminal charges. Trump faces charges including at least one felony offense related to hush money payments to women during his 2016 campaign. The indictment pierces the cloak of invincibility that seemed to follow Trump through his decades in business and in politics, as he faced allegations of fraud, collusion and sexual misconduct. Trump and his team were caught by surprise when word of the New York indictment broke Thursday evening, following news reports that the grand jury hearing the case was set for a weekslong hiatus.
