Former US President Donald Trump has been arrested and will be facing an arraignment in court.
Trump was arrested after he had surrendered himself to the police at the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
The former president is now in police custody ahead of his arraignment in court, according to the CNN.
Trump was indicted on criminal charges in New York for his role in organising hush money payments made to an adult film star during his 2016 campaign.
He is expected to be fingerprinted as part of the arrest, though it’s still unclear whether his mugshot will be taken.
He will next be brought to a courtroom, where he will be arraigned — an appearance that is expected to be quick and routine but represents a surreal and historic moment in US history.
Trump is not expected to be handcuffed following his arrest, as he will remain under constant law enforcement protection.

The former president’s indictment by the Manhattan grand jury on Thursday marks the first time a president has been charged in a criminal matter.
