In television interviews Sunday, Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said he would pore over the indictment once he receives it, then devise the next legal steps. Trump will hold the event at his Mar-a-Lago club after returning from Manhattan, where he is expected to voluntarily turn himself in. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information that is not yet public because the indictment remains under seal.

Former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson, who announced Sunday he is running to be the Republican presidential nominee, openly questioned such a strategy and urged Trump to drop out of the race. “I do think that’s too much of a sideshow and distraction, and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process,” Hutchinson said. Biden, knowing anything he might say could fuel Trump’s complaints of a politically “weaponized” judicial system, is one of the few Democrats maintaining silence over the indictment of his political rival. Donald Trump is expected to fly Monday to New York for his historic arraignment on criminal charges, taking the United States and the office of the presidency into uncharted and potentially volatile territory. In the swing state of Georgia, Trump is under investigation for pressuring officials to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory there — including a taped phone call in which he asked the secretary of state to “find” enough votes to reverse the result. His aides say Trump will decamp from his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and fly Monday to New York, his former base of operations.

Trump goes on the attack as he awaits Tuesday's arraignment (EL PAÍS in English)

'We are now living in a THIRD WORLD country,' the former president posted on Truth Social as he gears up for his court appearance in New York.

According to the survey, Trump has the backing of 51% of Republican voters, while his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis — who has not even confirmed that he will be running — is on 21%, giving Trump a 30-point lead. “I have made a decision, and my decision is I’m going to run for president of the United States,” he told In the interview, Hutchinson also said that he believed that Trump should drop out of the race now that he’s been indicted. Trump has the advantage of having already been president, a more-than-recognizable name and the support of the Republican rank and file. Trump appears to have decided that the case will bolster his chances of winning the 2024 election. “He should, but at the same time, we know he’s not [going to],” he said. On Friday, he was already attacking the judge presiding over the case, Juan Manuel Merchán, whom Trump accused of “hating” him. “We all know that had Donald Trump not been Donald Trump and was John Smith, this case never would have been brought.” media suggest that Trump — who was caught off guard by the grand jury’s decision to indict him Thursday — may be facing more than 30 charges, including at least one felony. The former president plans to return to Mar-a-Lago that same afternoon and is scheduled to deliver remarks from Florida at 8:15 p.m. On the eve of his “Radical Left Thugs & Insurrectionists have taken over our Country, & are rapidly destroying it,” Trump — the first U.S.

His team “will look at every potential issue that we will be able to challenge, and we will challenge,” Tacopina said. Ordinarily, a defendant who is released would walk out the front doors, but Secret Service will want to limit the time and space where Trump is in public. By the afternoon, Trump is expected to be brought to the courtroom, where the indictment will be unsealed and he will formally face the charges. Tacopina suggested in TV interviews Sunday the statute of limitations may have passed, and said the Trump businesses didn’t make false entries. Once the former president is finished being processed, he’ll be taken through a back set of hallways and elevators to the floor where the courtroom is located. “The office is more important than any individual person. “All the Tuesday stuff is still very much up in the air, other than the fact that we will very loudly and proudly say not guilty.” The Secret Service, the New York Police Department and the court officers are coordinating security for Trump’s expected appearance. The former president will stay at Trump Tower Monday night and is expected to depart New York immediately after Tuesday’s arraignment to head back to Florida, the source said. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election. Trump is expected to leave Florida around noon ET on Monday, landing at New York’s LaGuardia airport around 3 p.m.

Trump's lawyers will be there every step of the way, and they'll have to make sure that the jury is fairly chosen and that the jury does its job."

And all of that will happen alongside the everyday operations of a busy state court office. After the hearing, Trump will be free to leave.

Last month, when Trump [predicted](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/donald-trump-calls-for-protest-ahead-of-expected-indictment) he would be “arrested on Tuesday,” the former president called on supporters to “protest” and “take our nation back.” At least one of his sycophants in Congress has heeded the call, as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene [tweeted](https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1642548632749502465?s=20) that she’s coming to New York on Tuesday to “protest this unprecedented abuse of our justice system and election interference,” and will be [headlining](https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1642903950981582848?s=20) a rally planned by the New York Young Republican Club at a nearby park. “The courthouse system is kind of trapped in 1923,” she said. There are a limited number of seats in the courtroom, and Italiano said Insider’s lawyers were “ready preemptively, in case there’s any kind of objectionable limitation on access,” like a pool situation where there’s one camera and one print reporter—“the kind of nightmare that keeps me awake,” as she put it. Even that wasn’t enough, she noted: “I was the first reporter in overflow.” For Weinstein’s trial, Hurtado said she got up at 4:30 a.m.—by which time the line was already around the block—to make sure she was there in time. “It’s been maddening.” Right before the indictment news broke, Italiano told me she’d just filed a story with a headline along the lines of “This Trump Indictment Long Break Is Not a Sure Thing.” “As a veteran court reporter—and I’ve covered federal and state courts for decades—this has been the strangest thing, because it’s been a whiplash,” she told me of the inquiry. “In those instances, reporters who don’t have in-house credentials have been required to start lining up outside the courthouse the night before,” she said, noting that she was among them for El Chapo, arriving at 11 p.m. [previously scheduled](https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/29/manhattan-trump-grand-jury-set-to-break-for-a-month-00089422) hiatus, which would push any indictment of Trump until at least the end of April. “I’ve been at this for 30 years, and it’s the biggest case in my career.” On the other side of the square was a line of parked satellite trucks. “I think this is going to dwarf those cases,” said Laura Italiano, who worked at all three New York City tabloids before landing at Insider, where she’s been focusing on Trump’s legal exposure in New York state court.
