Donald Trump was set Tuesday to plead not guilty to criminal charges in a New York courtroom in an unprecedented case that threatens to upend the 2024 White House race.
Trump is the first sitting or former American president to be criminally indicted -- a historic development that has propelled the United States into uncharted political waters.
He plans to speak to reporters as he walks through the hallways toward court, one of his lawyers told CNN. A couple of dozen Trump supporters and a smattering of anti-Trump demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse, outnumbered by the throngs of media personnel. A"perp walk" -- in which a defendant is escorted in handcuffs past media cameras -- is unlikely for an ex-president under US Secret Service protection.
Trump was indicted last week by a grand jury in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat. Late Monday, Trump on his Truth Social platform accused Bragg of"illegally" leaking details of the indictment, after Yahoo News reported that the charges included 34 counts related to falsifying business records.
