Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters on Tuesday swarmed the streets around the courthouse in New York City where the former president was due to be arraigned on charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star.
Hours before Trump turned himself in on Tuesday afternoon, crowds of people whistled, shouted and raised placards in support of Trump, who has already announced his candidacy for president in 2024.
Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, a U.S. representative from Georgia who backed Trump's false claims that he won the 2020 election, made a brief appearance outside the Manhattan courthouse, where she had promised to lead a pro-Trump rally hosted by the New York Young Republicans Club. George Santos, an embattled freshman congressman from New York who has drawn calls from fellow Republicans to step down over his fabrications about his background, also appeared briefly at the rally to show support for Trump but departed quickly.
He is set to become the first current or former U.S. president to be charged with a crime. A Manhattan grand jury indicted him last week in a case stemming from an alleged payment to porn star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 election to silence her claim that Trump had an affair with her. Though the specific charges have yet to be disclosed publicly, Trump has said he is innocent and intends to plead not guilty.
