Donald Trump is expected to return home to Palm Beach County after Tuesday's arraignment in Manhattan where he will face criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign.
The former president is expected to fly back to South Florida sometime Tuesday evening.
Trump's campaign said he is then expected to speak at Mar-a-Lago at about 8:15 p.m.
Before he arrived at the downtown Manhattan courthouse to surrender to authorities, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that this was a "surreal" experience, and he couldn't "believe this is happening in America."
Judge Juan Merchan ruled that TV cameras wouldn't be allowed in the courtroom.
Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the matter.
Merchan warned Trump to refrain from rhetoric that could inflame or cause civil unrest during the arraignment.
The judge also warned Trump that he could be removed from the courtroom if he was disruptive, but Trump spoke only a few times to respond to questions.
He's next due in court on Dec. 4, though it is not clear if he will be required to appear.
The judge said he was not imposing a gag order at this point, but he asked both sides to refrain from comments that could lead to civil unrest.
Trump stayed mostly still with his hands steepled or interlaced and looked ahead during the proceedings, which lasted just over an hour.
He spent about two hours inside the building for booking and the arraignment where he learned the details of the criminal charges.
A conviction would not prevent Trump from running for or winning the presidency in 2024.

They're using the courts to keep the pressures on Trump monetarily and mentally as they've been doing all along. They don't care if or not they have a case....all they want are people willing to keep the pressure on.

What a contrast to hearing Joetato Poop Pants try to speak.
Imagine how many Americans are hearing Trump for the first time.
MAGA!

I loved it!
A highlight to me: Trump said financially he's underleveraged. Basically saying his wealth isn't fake wealth with a lot of debt -- that he can fight the Dims' legal warfare.

He looked good, considering all he has been through; and make no mistake, he is taking flak because he tried to make America great again.

He was talking about the chief financial officer that work for his company, and what they did to him not Roger StoneMy mistake, but didn't they do the same thing to Roger Stone? Threaten him with a 10-year prison sentence, which for a man in his health would be a life sentence?

"Trump is giving a Trump rally type speech and any liberals are watching probably don’t know that. Couldn’t pay for this much publicity."Every, literally every single, MSM covered Trump in NYC today. Even the Spanish channels covered it.

He was talking about the chief financial officer that work for his company, and what they did to him not Roger Stone I believe you are correct. Roger Stone had some similar Soviet-like attack, but President Trump was talking about the same biased judge who is persecuting him. And that victim was Trump’s CFO. I think Roger Stone was railroaded by a different crooked judge.
