Donald Trump will be placed under arrest on Tuesday and informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president.
A New York City Police arrest report summarizing the charges against Trump will then be prepared and entered into the court system before he is led into a courtroom to be formally arraigned on the charges, none of which are misdemeanors.
But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded that there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.

It didn't work out so well for them.
We’re living in a police state. None of us are safe.
“We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power …um by uh...if we uh, if he does run …uh, making sure that he uh, under the legitimate efforts of, uh, our constitution does not become the next president again.”

Headline is a COMPLETE lie, Trump should sue Yahoo!!
34 felonies huh??? Two days ago it was 1 felony.
This is absolutely and literally sickening.
Where is our cavalry . . . ?
“… concluded that there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.”
More likely, the secret service said, “yeah, that’s not going to happen.”
Or, they are recognizing the election interference implications and are trying to CYA to a small extent, at least.
Of course.
It would be kind of funny to have the Secret Service share a cell with him, which is what they would have to do.
We know this is a kangaroo trial meant to keep him from campaigning.
“—Biden”
Is that a direct, searchable quote in context?
Bragg would have already cut a plea deal for lesser charges with a cold blooded murderer.
Michael Isicoff doesn’t make that kind of mistake.
No Mug Shot! Sad for the TShirt companies that coulda made millions! (Wait! Does the Stste of NY own that photo? 🤔)
He’ll send his kids out to campaign in his stead and they’ll do a fine job
More leaks or just fake news?
Spared Trump the handcuffs and the mugshot?
LOLOLOL…what they really mean is they are sparing themselves the handcuffs and the mugshot!!
B*st*rds.
Sitting at home behind closed doors, turtled up, praying someone else will deal with the garbage. Unlike in our country's early days, there are no "Give me liberty or give me death" patriots.
Whoever doesn’t realize this, is blind.

34 Trump Tower elevators, now this.
