Former President Trump surrendered to authorities and was arraigned in Manhattan Tuesday, marking the beginning of what could be a drawn-out legal process involving motions and rulings on those motions before a trial. The next in-person hearing is scheduled for Dec. 4.

On Tuesday, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 charges. Trump’s attorney has said he’ll try to get the charges thrown out. 

The Hill’s Zach Schonfeld and Rebecca Beitsch wrote, “The highly anticipated indictment, now unsealed, includes charges of falsifying business records and other counts in connection with a hush payment that Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, made to adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election.”

Hush money payments aren’t illegal, but the manner in which they were recorded could be.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) said in a statement after the arraignment, “Manhattan is home to the country’s most significant business market. We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct.”

Trump gave no comments to reporters either before or after the arraignment. He is set to give remarks at 8:15 p.m. ET from his residence in Mar-a-Lago.

Before the arraignment, Trump posted on Truth Social, “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”

Pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators gathered outside the Manhattan courthouse where the former president’s arraignment took place. 

As The Hill’s Tobias Burns wrote, “dueling chants of ‘USA!’ and ‘lock him up!’ were fired back and forth between crowds of pro-Trump and anti-Trump demonstrators assembled in the public square across the street.”

Helicopters hovered overhead, Tobias noted, and “[c]owbells and thumping bass from several different sets of speakers added to the intensity of the ambiance.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) spoke at a rally earlier in the day, saying, “This is what happens to Communist countries, not the United States of America.” During an interview, Greene compared Trump to Nelson Mandela and Jesus.

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) was also outside the courthouse this morning, where he criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Two of 2023’s biggest elections take place today: Chicago’s mayoral runoff and Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election.

In Chicago: Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson and former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas are running to succeed Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who lost in the primary.

“The pair have offered drastically different approaches to tackling key issues like crime and education, and recent polling suggests the race will be close,” The Hill’s Caroline Vakil wrote.

In Wisconsin: The partisan lean of the currently conservative-majority state Supreme Court is at stake, with liberal county Judge Janet Protasiewicz and conservative former state Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly on the ballot.  

Again, Caroline keeps us up to speed: “Several key issues are riding on the election results of Tuesday’s race, including a contested 1849 abortion ban offering very limited exceptions.”

Some other potential stakes: “The high court could also hear legal challenges to the state’s election maps or even challenges to the 2024 presidential results — coming just four years after the Wisconsin Supreme Court narrowly held up President Biden’s win in 2020 following a legal battle over the election results in the state.”
