maddow and joy and myself. the whole gang will be back at 8:00 for special coverage, our whole primetime lineup of colleagues much more tonight starting at 8:00, but right now it s time to sit down with another bucket of popcorn or whatever you re having because it s time for the beat. hi, nicolle will see you at 8:00 p.m right now we re reporting on arraignment of former president donald trump stepped into court, took his seat to make his first appearance as a defendant in a criminal case. this is what that moment looked like this is here the photo right before the arraignment officially began and the news photographers then left the room a standard practice that trump s lawye lawyers asked to maintain today. meaning these are the photos donald trump did not want to world to see trump appeared at times somewhat sullen flanked by his expanded legal team he went on to plead not guilty today. he was watched over, as you can see here, by court officers, who are there not to p
