Trump to surrender early next week, attorney tells NBC
in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.The former president is expected to turn himself in early next week, his attorney Joe Tacopina told NBC News.
The unprecedented indictment of a former president means that after he surrenders, Trump will be read his Miranda rights, fingerprinted, and photographed — like any other defendant.Taylor Budowich, CEO of the political-action committee Make America Great Again Inc., used the indictment as an opportunity to look ahead to the 2024 presidential election.
Meanwhile, a federal special counsel, Jack Smith, is investigating Trump over his removal of classified documents from the White House as well as his ties to the bloody Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Fueled by Trump's false claims of election fraud, hundreds of his supporters stormed the building that day in a bid to prevent lawmakers from confirming Joe Biden's victory.Stormy Daniels' attorney, Clark Brewster, said the indictment of Trump was "no cause for joy.
Trump's reaction came after the grand jury voted to indict the former president and current 2024 candidate following an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
