Trump arrived at LaGuardia Airport in New York on Monday afternoon and then went to Trump Tower in preparation for his trial on Tuesday.
After being charged on Thursday night, Trump traveled from Palm Beach International Airport to New York City, where he was met by supporters outside Trump Tower.
The momentous takeoff and landing were widely covered by media outlets. No sitting or past president of the United States has ever been charged with a crime.
The crowd outside Trump Tower began chanting “Trump, Trump, Trump” in anticipation of his arrival.
We just want to let him know that he has our full backing, that we believe he is blameless, and that this is yet another instance of the witch chase that has plagued this country. One Trump backer told NJEG Media that the public would soon see “how biased our judicial system is.”
We adore Trump, others shouted.
Trump top advisor Jason Miller revealed on Monday that Trump’s campaign fundraising has increased by $7 million since the indictment.
Many attorneys and judges in Manhattan are skeptical of District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s argument. Jonathan Turley, a scholar of law, called it “legally pathetic.” The charge has not been unsealed yet.
