Here in washington, d. C. , a growing sense of anticipation ahead of the former president s appearance at 4 00 p. M. Eastern. Lines started building outside the courthouse overnight. Take a look at these pictures. The morning, however, the intense security continues. Barricades outside the court. Officers with long guns on the grounds. We expect the former president to travel here from bedminster, new jersey, in just a few hours. We know hell be fingerprinted and go before the judge. Garrett haake is outside that d. C. Courthouse.
