Trump Indicted. What's Next?

“A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges,” the New York Times reported on Thursday evening.

Bragg’s investigation into Trump stems from his alleged role in paying Storm Daniels $130,000 in hush money. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, claimed Trump pressured him to make the six-figure payment to Daniels on Trump’s behalf.

In 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion, misleading Congress about his past business dealings in Russia, and arranging payments to silence women.
However, it is unknown what exact charges the grand jury’s indictment of Trump includes.

Next, local law enforcement must process Trump, whether he voluntarily surrenders himself to authorities or will be publicly arrested in a “perp walk.” However, a perp walk is unlikely as defendants accused of white-collar crimes typically coordinate a surrender date through their attorneys.

A spokesperson from Bragg’s office confirmed they are coordinating with Trump’s attorneys to “coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan D.A.’s Office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal.”
