  • Former President Donald Trump made history today as he became the first U.S. President to face criminal charges. Trump was arrested and arraigned in a Manhattan courtroom, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. The Manhattan district attorney's case against Trump was unsealed today, revealing new details about the alleged hush money payment scheme. Trump traveled from Trump Tower to surrender to authorities at the district attorney's office, where he was fingerprinted but received special accommodations and was not handcuffed or put in a jail cell. The courtroom proceedings did not allow video cameras, but a few still photographers were permitted to take pictures. During the arraignment, Trump was charged with 34 felonies and pleaded not guilty. The case centers around alleged payoffs to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an affair in the lead-up to the 2016 election. Trump's attorneys expressed his frustration but emphasized that it will not deter him. Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who has faced criticism from Trump and his supporters, defended the charges against the former president.

  • President trump did nothing wrong.
  • Geoff: And scandal-ridden GOP congressman George Santos.
  • >> I'm here to support the president of the United States, who's being unfairly attacked by a D.A.
  • Geoff: A team of New York City police, secret service, and court security barricaded and controlled the crush of the crowd.
  • As members of the media stood in line for hours for a seat inside the courtroom where the former president faced judge Juan merchan, who just this morning, Mr. Trump called highly partisan and a well-known trump hater.
  • He also said the case should be moved to nearby Staten Island, which he views as friendlier political ground.
  • Tonight, Donald Trump returns to his mar-a-lago home where he's addressing his arraignment in a primetime speech.
  • Amna: To give us a sense of what happened in the courtroom today, I'm joined by Andrea Bernstein.
  • She covers democracy for propublica and trump legal matters for NPR, and is the author of "American oligarchs: The kushners, the trumps and the marriage of money and power." Welcome back and thank you for joining us.
  • Most of us saw just brief glimpses of those proceedings today.
  • For example, the short video clip of Mr. Trump being led into the courtroom earlier today, but you are in the room.
  • Describe for us what it was like in the room and what you observed.
  • Andrea: In one sense, it was totally normal.
  • The very same courtroom where'd trump's former financial officer was indicted and pleaded guilty.
  • This is the courtroom where trump's own company was found guilty of multiple felonies.
  • But it was also extraordinary because of the security was like nothing I've ever seen.
  • There were court officers lining the center aisle.
  • All around the room, secret service, police.
  • No laptops, no electronics.
  • Forced quiet.
  • You could hear a little bit of the protests, but there was the former president of the united States having to say to a judge "Not guilty," something we've obviously never seen.
  • Amna: 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
  • We will dive more deeply into the legal details but you have covered him for so long.
  • What stands out to you about these charges?
  • Andrea: Of course, we didn't know in the courtroom what the charges were going to be.
  • We heard for the first time 34 felony counts and we understood more today about what that is.
  • In New York, there has to be an underlying crime.
  • We were falsified the business records to do what?
  • We learned three answers.
  • One was to conceal a conspiracy New York.
  • To violate campaign finance laws.
  • Also a violation of federal laws by giving donations in excess and a violation of tax laws.
  • We learned all that today.
  • There was also extensive back-and-forth about the former president's posts.
  • Amna: You noticed everything about Mr. Trump.
  • I wonder, to see him in this way, to be sitting at the table like any other criminal defendant, what strikes you about that?
  • Andrea: So, we have never -- so many people have asked me over the years, is he ever going to be indicted?
  • Is he going to be held accountable?
  • His company was convicted last year, but he has not been.
  • Here is a case where the prosecutor stood up and said the rule of law applies.
  • The judge also treated the former president in that way.
  • The rule of law applies.
  • Something that has happened in other countries but never here.
  • I think there's a truth telling that goes on in the court of law that is very different from the political sphere that we are about to see play out in this new case.
  • The people of the state of new York versus Donald Trump.
  • Amna: There's a long way to go.
  • Briefly, what will you be watching?
  • Andrea: I will be watching to see how Mr. Trump's legal team handles the timing.
  • They will try to get the case dismissed, perhaps delay.
  • On the other hand, there's a presidential election coming up, and the more they do that, the more they put a potential trial right in the middle of high campaign season, which is really something we've never seen before in this country.
