Former President Donald Trump left his Mar-a-Lago home on Monday to fly to New York, the first step in a legal odyssey that will include his arrest and court appearance a day later.
His motorcade swept out of the resort gates shortly after midday for the 15-minute journey to the airport.
It will make Trump the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges when he is arraigned, fingerprinted and photographed at the downtown Manhattan courthouse.
In a Truth Social post on the eve of his departure he confirmed the arrangements, saying he will fly out at noon and stay at Trump Tower on Monday evening.
On Monday afternoon, his motorcade pulled up to his jet and the former president boarded alone, before campaign staff and lawyers followed him up the rear steps.
His lawyers have said he will enter a plea of not guilty and his legal team is preparing to add a constitutional expert amid fears that the judge in the case will impose a gag order.
The charges against Trump remain sealed, but it is believed they stem from an investigation into $130,000 hush money paid to adult movie star Stormy Daniels.
'I will be leaving Mar-a-Lago on Monday at 12 noon, heading to Trump Tower in New York,' the former president posted on Sunday night.
'On Tuesday morning I will be going to, believe it or not, the Courthouse. America was not supposed to be this way!'
Court officials say he is due to arraigned at 2:15pm on Tuesday.
He is then expected to return to his Mar-a-Lago home where he plans to make a speech in the evening.

Your FBI approves of your message
Seemingly damning, I meant
This is the greatest free campaign contribution I could possibly imagine.
They better be thinking of ways to beef up his security.
This is going to backfire bigly on the dems.
NYC is ground zero for mass psychosis formation. They’ve absorbed too many years of TDS media.
Double YEP!!
Bubba was .........Monica in his office. Not a damn thing happened to this perv..

WATCH: Mayor Eric Adams to Trump supporters:
“Control yourselves. New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. We are the safest large city in America…”

Safest large city?? In your dreams TOKEN.
I am reminded of King Charles the First of England. Oliver Cromwell overthrew him and had him executed in 1649. He had the son, Charles II, exiled to France.
A few years later, Charles II returned from France, after Cromwell had died, and took back control of England and regained the throne.
Charles II had Cromwell’s remains exhumed and hanged and on display in public view for many years until the skeleton finally fell apart.
I have that same sick feeling when i got the news Rush was very very sick today while watching all the news outlets covering Trumps motorcade going to the airport today
We might NEVER see the sexual weirdo's Manifesto who shot up a Christian School - killing as many little girls as she could find. Because the corrupt 'justice system' protects killers who support THEIR hatred of conservative Americans. Bird's of a feather...
If that had been a MAGA - the manifesto would have been release while the children's dead bodies were still warm. The FBI knows who they hate and who they protect.
The NYC Mayor gave a presser. In it he specifically called out MTG and said don’t cause any trouble.
This is proof that our government is now less credible than a Jerry Springer show.
With a TOKEN Mayor and TOKEN DA what could possibly go wrong?
NYC, enjoy the Suck!
How many minutes will it take?
A New York minute.
We all know it.
I recommend the hard-working, patriotic Americans who produce and transport America’s food completely cut off New York City from ANY food deliveries. Let the worthless and wicked scoundrels be reduced to eating rats or their neighbors’ pets.
The country ends the minute Trump is locked up. Period. I feel sorry for those so delusional to believe that Trump will somehow win in a NY court.
Definitely a good story for the grandkids or while having adult beverages with the gang at the neighborhood watering hole. 😏
He should have demanded extradition from Florida, so as to given a prosecutor in Florida standing to charge the prosecutor in NYC with the crime of depriving Trump of his civil rights by malicious prosecution.
