The former president of the United States, Donald Trump has been arrested in New York.
Trump’s arrest came after he surrendered before the Manhattan grand jury in New York on Tuesday, making him the first former President to be arrested.
He is to face extraordinary criminal charges that threaten to derail his 2024 presidential ambition.
The indictment purportedly charges the Republican leader with more than 30 counts of corporate fraud, the most serious of which is allegedly paying ‘hush money’ to a porn actress, Stormy Daniels.
The former President wearing a dark blue suit and a red tie was seen showing little anger on his face as he waved to the crowd who gathered outside the courthouse.
Also, before he departed for New York, he held his fist in the air as a gesture to reporters in the Trump Tower.
