of mind as trump is preparing to go to his second indictment in just a matter of months, tomorrow, for that arraignment. so so, kaitlan, obviously this is not the first time this year that donald trump has been arrested and arraigned. we saw that happen in new york with state charges. obviously, new york and florida are very different in terms of procedures, in terms of what is open to the public to see, what is not. walk us through the appearance tomorrow. what should we expect? do you think we will see a mugshot? will we see any images of him from inside the courthouse? it doesn t seem like we re going to see much. we may not even see him going into the courthouse. we believe there will be some courtroom sketches, jake, but it s not going to be photos or anything like we saw last time, were photographers were briefly allowed in, like when you saw those historic photos of trump in the courtroom, we re not expecting that to happen tomorrow. jim trusty, the attorney who is since aug
what we can expect in the hours ahead. reporter: he has been searching to add a florida based attorney to his team even since before two of his top attorneys on this case specifically resigned last friday. they resigned in part because trump was pursuing adding another attorney to the team and they have been the top attorneys litigating this, so he is down two attorneys who were handling the documents case. still searching for someone else. that is not seen as a big deal from the people i ve spoken with. todd blanche is the other attorney that he added to his team about two months ago and he will be one of the people that you see going to court with the former president. it remains to be seen who he add, but you can see when two people who depart the team, it is difficult for trump to find attorneys in the past. we may not even see him going into the courthouse. we believe there will be courtroom sketches, but not
