On Tuesday, Courtroom sketches captured the arraignment of former President Donald Trump after cameras, phones, and electronics were banned at the start of the proceedings. Trump is the first current or former President of the United States to ever face criminal charges. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon, following his Thursday indictment with 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records.
At the arraignment, Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges. It is related to the longstanding investigation into the $130,000 hush money payment, led by his former attorney Michael Cohen, to porn star Stormy Daniels back in 2016.
