a former president donald trump. mr trump landed at laguardia airport, just a short while ago. the former president expected derives soon at trump tower. he is expected to spend the night there ahead of his arraignment tomorrow afternoon at the manhattan criminal courthouse, where mr trump is expected to voluntarily surrender sources tell cnn that the former president faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud that we should note the indictment. remains under seal. these charges come after a years long probe. into a hush money payment made to adult film star and director stormy daniels in the days before the 2016 presidential election, and let s let s uh we re looking. let s let s start with cnn s katelyn polantz right now she s outside trump tower and caitlin . it s odd watching this kind of for want of a better term like o j. bronco coverage of donald trump coming into manhattan for this criminal matter, and i know that media critics are taking issue with the way t
