Global Precedents for Indicting Former Leaders: A Closer Look.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan court on charges related to alleged hush money payments made in 2016. Trump is expected to plead not guilty to the charges and will likely use a side entrance to the courthouse. Heavy security is expected around the building with a limited amount of press allowed into the facility. Trump plans to fly back to his Florida home to deliver remarks later this evening, though a potential gag order could limit what he is able to reveal about his case. Trump is the first former U.S. president to be indicted, but he joins the ranks of other former leaders charged following their tenure in office.
