Left his golf estate in bedminster new jersey, he got on his trump plane at Newark International airport and flew back to washington, d. C.

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. So this was all very much a Trip Down Memory Lane for mr. Trump. Now there were no Courtroom Cameras today. But thanks to C
