It has been widely reported that the issue revolves around purported payments of hush money made to porn star Stormy Daniels in the year 2016.

Other Takes

According to the reporting of Jana Winter for Rolling Stone, Trump was reportedly presented with the option of a low-profile arraignment via Zoom conference; however, he turned down the offer in favor of a "spectacle."

“He wanted a perp walk; he wanted daylight hours,” says the law enforcement official, who’s involved in aspects of the security planning. “He wants to get out of the vehicle and walk up the stairs.

This is a nightmare for Secret Service, but they can only strongly suggest — not order — that Trump enter through the secure tunnels. Trump wants to greet the crowd. This should be a surprise to no one — especially not his detail.”

“It’s kind of a Jesus Christ thing. He is saying, ‘I’m absorbing all this pain from all around from everywhere so you don’t have to,'” the source added.
