And when trump arrived there today, it was just showing up for courts. He was returning to the scene of the alleged crime. The federal courthouse where, trump was arraigned today, sits near both the ellipse, where trump riled up the crowd on january 6th, and the capital plaza, where rioters stormed the barricade and tried to stop the peaceful transition of power.

The judge overseeing trumps arraignment has also overseen the cases of people including dominick box, a Qanon Activist Who Livestreamed the storming of the capitol and jarred wise, a former fbi agent whos charged with assaulting a Police Officer on january 6th.
