Donald Trump is Under Arrest ... Again
Trump is at the federal courthouse in Miami where he is surrendering to authorities and will be arrested and taken to the courtroom for arraignment. This is the first time he has been indicted and arrested for federal charges. A couple months ago, he was indicted and arrested for state charges in New York. Two more indictments are expected in coming months, one federal and one state. The indictment/arrest/arraignment processes in those will be similar.
While much can be said about this, one thing is it shows Trump's preferred legal strategy of deny, delay, defend is not working in these criminal cases like they often worked in his many civil cases. Trump is under arrest and not by choice. It was a big, big deal the first time. Because this is a first-time federal case, it's a big, big deal today. The next two times will be lesser bombshells, because it is becoming routine to see Trump in police custody and standing as a criminal defendant in court.
