Former United States President Donald Trump is currently in police custody ahead of his upcoming arraignment after arriving at the Manhattan district office of the attorney in lower Manhattan. 

The business mogul will be given a thumbprint as part of the arrest, but it is yet to be revealed if his mugshot will be taken, according to CNN. 

The ex-president will be making an appearance in the courtroom for arraignment in what is expected to be a speedy routine.

Trump will not be handcuffed despite being under arrest because he will remain under constant law enforcement protection. 

He will become the first US president that will face criminal charges which makes it unreal and historic.

The indictment will be revealed to the public on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in what CNN had earlier reported that Trump will be facing over 30 counts of charges bordering on fraud to hush money payments paid in 2016 to an adult film actress.
