Trump will travel from Florida to New York the day before his arraignment and stay at Trump Tower Monday night.
Trump became the first former U.S. president to be indicted on Thursday when a Manhattan grand jury convened in January determined Bragg had enough evidence to proceed with a case against him. Bragg’s office said it was in contact with Trump’s lawyers to coordinate the surrender of the former president.
Bragg has been investigating Trump’s role in paying hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Mr Trump has denied any wrongdoing and the incident, calling his investigation and prosecution a partisan attack. He is running for the Republican nomination in next year’s presidential election.
