Former US President Donald Trump was on Tuesday arrested in New York..
As a result, he has become the first former or sitting US president to be arrested.
Trump surrendered before the Manhattan grand jury in New York on Tuesday, April 4 to face extraordinary criminal charges that threaten to derail the Republican leader’s 2024 presidential campaign.
The sealed indictment purportedly charges the 76-year old with more than 30 counts of corporate fraud, the most serious of which is allegedly paying ‘hush money’ to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, Donald Trump showed little emotion on his face as he waved to a crowd assembled outside the courthouse.
When he departed from the Trump Tower, he held his fist in the air in a gesture to the reporters.
