<div></div>
<div>Ashiwaju Media had reported how the former president faced charges over hush money payments made to an adult actress just before the 2016 presidential election.</div>
<div></div>
<div>This is the first time in American history that a former president is facing criminal charges.</div>

<div></div>
<div>The former US president is not wearing handcuffs but will have his fingerprints taken. It is unclear whether his mugshot will be taken.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>Ahead of his arraignment, the former president had expressed shock at the situation via Truth Social, his media platform.</div>
<div></div>
<div>“Heading to Lower Manhattan, the courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!” he said.</div>
<div></div>
<div>On Monday, a judge had ruled to bar news outlets from broadcasting the arraignment. However, details of the charges are expected to be revealed in the coming hours.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Trump is expected to face more than 30-count charges related to business fraud as part of a probe into the $130,000 payout to Stormy Daniels, the adult actress, in an attempt to buy her silence over an alleged affair.</div>
<div></div>
<div>CNN reports that Trump’s legal team said the former president will plead not guilty and challenge the charges.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Trump is currently the subject of multiple investigations into his conduct before, during, and after his first term as president.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Amid the allegations, there have been concerns as to Trump’s eligibility to re-run for president following his bid.</div>
<div></div>
<div>However, the US constitution does not forbid arrested or convicted persons to run or be elected into office.</div>
