Trump’s trial begins today, Tuesday, with the reading of the indictment in New York.

Shortly before his election as president, Trump paid hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

He would have miscalculated and forged business documents.

Trump has been charged with 34 crimes so far, each of which carries a prison sentence.

Trump (still) lives in his luxury home Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

He has to fly to New York for the trial.

In a convoy of black vehicles, Trump first drove to Palm Beach Airport on Monday, where he boarded his Boeing 757, which had Trump’s name in large letters. The flight to New York City was at times the most viewed flight in the world on the Flight Radar flight portal.

Tuesday evening Swiss time, the state’s once most powerful man is likely to be taken into custody for a short time…

Helicopters escorted the convoy from the airport to Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York. Security measures were increased again in front of the Trump skyscraper, police buses were ready. Some Trump fans engaged in verbal battles with opponents.

…so that fingerprints and police photos can be taken of him.

Whether these photos were actually taken is an open question.

This will all happen behind closed doors.

The judge responsible rejected a video transmission from the court.

Trump will likely plead “not guilty” when the indictment is read.

He dismisses all allegations as a politically motivated “witch hunt” designed to prevent his victory in the 2024 presidential election.

He is even ahead in internal party polls.

Trump is using the whirlwind to raise money for his campaign.

But the trial may one day end in a prison cell when all legal remedies have been exhausted.

Radical Republicans want to protest outside the door during the court hearing.

Experts believe that a new indictment against Trump is imminent.
