Donald Trump's plane departed Florida on Monday afternoon for New York City ahead of what is expected to be a historic arraignment of a former president.
Trump's ground journey from his Mar-a-Lago club to his red, white and blue Boeing 757, emblazoned with "TRUMP" in gold letters was carried live on national television and took him past supporters waving banners and cheering the former president. They slammed the case against him - stemming from hush money payments during his 2016 campaign -as politically motivated.
The former president planned to spend the night at Trump Tower, then surrender to authorities on Tuesday for booking and a likely afternoon arraignment. So far, officials have not seen an influx of people coming into the city, as was the case in Washington in the days before the Jan. 6 insurrection. Trump Tower was open Monday, but authorities were planning to close nearby streets as Trump came and went, and additional security was also in the works. They've taken steps to close and secure the courthouse floor where the former president is set to appear for an arraignment Tuesday afternoon.
The former president and his aides were eagerly embracing the expected media circus. After initially being caught off guard by news of the indictment when it broke Thursday evening, Trump and his team are focused on using what they call a weak case against Trump to his advantage.
