2016 election.

is accused of directing his former lawyer Michael Cohen to pay $130,000
to Daniels to ensure she would not go public about an alleged affair
she had with Trump in 2006.
- Trump,
who is the first current or former U.S. president to face criminal
charges, is expected to return to his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, after
being arraigned on Tuesday afternoon.
- Trump's 2024 presidential campaign said it raised more than $5M in the two days following the announcement of Trump's indictment last week.
- Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she would travel to New York City to protest Trump's indictment and arrest.
- New
York City Mayor Eric Adams warned her and other potential
"rabble-rousers" to stay on their best behavior while in New York.
