Former President Donald Trump is set to appear at a court in Manhattan on April 4 for his arraignment in a historic case that will make him the first former president ever to stand before a judge to answer for criminal charges.

While specific charges against the 2024 Republican presidential candidate remain under seal, they are believed to be related to his involvement in the $130,000 alleged hush money payment to adult entertainment actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign, which was allegedly illegally classified, in violation of federal campaign finance laws
