Trump and his allies had hoped to use arraignments to get media attention, media reports previously said. The sheriff who oversees the jail system has said Trump's mugshot and fingerprints will be taken for the National Crime Information Center. A presidential historian said in March that if Trump's mugshot is made public, it'll likely cement himself as "folk hero" among his supporters. At the arraignment, Trump and the other defendants will be formally presented with the criminal charges and can enter pleas. Trump is the first former president to face any criminal charges for a first, second, third, or fourth time.

Trump's booking and arraignment in Atlanta will take weeks, which is way too long. In Atlanta, where the Fulton County district attorney charged Trump with an array of crimes for trying to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, that same process is expected to take several weeks. It's 'lightning speed' for AtlantaTrump has said he'll go to Atlanta on Thursday where he'll be booked at the Fulton County jail, known locally as Rice Street, on 13 charges ranging from RICO — a racketeering charge — to illegally pressuring public officials.

CNN —Federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed another indictment against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried Monday, dropping another count against him. Prosecutors had previously indicated their plans to drop the one count of conspiracy to make unlawful campaign contributions against Bankman-Fried last month in a letter to the court. Prosecutors maintain that Bankman-Fried conducted an illegal campaign finance scheme in connection to the charges that are moving forward to trial. “The defendant’s use of customer deposits to conduct a political influence campaign was part of the wire fraud scheme charged in the original indictment. Bankman-Fried’s attorneys said they reserve the right to challenge evidence prosecutors may seek to use.

April 4 (Reuters) - Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury after a probe into hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, becoming the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges. The charges from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg come as Trump seeks the Republican nomination to run again in 2024. REPRESENTATIVE JAMAAL BOWMAN:“Take responsibility, hold yourself accountable, and go away,” Bowman, a Democrat of New York, said when reporters asked if he had a message for Trump. SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER:Schumer, a Democrat of New York, tweeted: "I believe that Donald Trump will have a fair trial that follows the facts and the law. Trump was a president of many firsts — none of which were good for our country.

NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump will not be handcuffed when he surrenders next week in New York to face criminal charges, his defense lawyer Joe Tacopina said on Friday. Susan Necheles, another Trump attorney, said the former president will plead not guilty. "There's no textbook to see how you arraign a former president of the United States in criminal court." Tacopina said Trump and his defense team were surprised by news of the indictment. Didn't believe they were actually going to go through with this because there's no crime here," Tacopina said.

☆ A gag order for Donald Trump is 'extremely likely' once he's before a judge, legal expert says
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Nicole Gaudiano | Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

But once he's arraigned, it's "extremely likely" he'll be put under a gag order, one expert said. But the judge is likely to issue a gag order on the lawyers from both sides, along with Trump, he said. If there's a gag order, Levin said Trump will be "very limited" in what he's able to say, even if there may be proxies who speak for him. Former Indiana Attorney General Jeff Modisett said he also expected that a judge could narrowly craft a gag order that could survive an appeal. "Theoretically, a litigant who breaks a gag order could be thrown in jail," he said.

☆ How a Trump arrest would play out: Yes, he'll be fingerprinted. No, he probably won't be handcuffed.

Trump is likely to be fingerprinted, swabbed for the state DNA database, and photographed for his mugshot. Trump has been indicted in the Manhattan district attorney's five-year investigation into his personal and business finances, Insider reported Thursday, but he'll be treated like any defendant moving forward — with many key exceptions. "That's called 'walking it through,'" explains Diana Florence, a former white-collar crime prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office. That's what typically happens in white-collar indictments, said Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a former chief assistant with the Manhattan district attorney's office. But even if Trump does need to surrender in person, Secret Service would likely give the perp walk a hard pass.

Here are predictions for how this historic event would roll out, courtesy of some of Manhattan's top defense lawyers, former high-ranking prosecutors, and a retired Secret Service special agent. "They can tell the foreperson come back two weeks from Wednesday, or something," to sign the revised indictment, Florence said. There can always be a leak, of course, somewhere between indictment and arraignment, which is the court proceeding where Trump would plead not guilty. But even if Trump does need to surrender in person, Secret Service would likely give the perp walk a hard pass. "That walk is not going to happen," said Pickle, the former Secret Service special agent.

☆ 737 MAX crash victim families press U.S. on Boeing settlement

REUTERS/Sarah Silbiger/File PhotoWASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Relatives of passengers killed in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes pressed U.S. Justice Department lawyers on Friday to unwind a 2021 deal that allowed the U.S. planemaker to escape criminal prosecution. U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Texas ruled last month that people killed in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes are legally considered "crime victims" and said he would decide what remedy should be imposed. Both Boeing and the Justice Department oppose reopening the deferred prosecution agreement that included $500 million in victim compensation, a $243.6 million fine and $1.7 billion in compensation to airlines. The Justice Department said on Friday after the meeting it takes its obligations to victims seriously.
