A Minute-by-Minute Accounting of What Trump’s Arrest Will Look Like
A detective investigator with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office will take a place in history on Tuesday afternoon by entering Trump, Donald J. on an online booking worksheet.
In the days leading up to this moment, Trump has raged about being railroaded and posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat beside a picture of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. Trump predicted “death and destruction.”
But sometime after 2 p.m. Eastern Time, there will come a moment of intimate, total compliance between Trump and a Bragg investigator, a moment that accompanies every arrest, no matter how defiant the accused. The investigator—who has not yet been identified—will reach for one of Trump’s famously small hands as they stand side-by-side before a digital reader.
