Trump will rush back to post-arraignment press event in Florida less than 6 hours after courthouse plea
- Donald Trump is expected to be arraigned in New York City on Tuesday afternoon.
- The embattled former president plans to race back to Florida immediately after and give a speech.
Donald Trump plans to rush back to Florida on Tuesday night to rally with supporters at Mar-a-Lago — just as soon as he's done getting fingerprinted, having his mugshot taken, and entering a plea in a Manhattan criminal courtroom.
Never one to waste a crisis, the embattled former president is racing back to Palm Beach, Florida, to deliver a speech sparked by the indictment stemming from the alleged "hush money" paid to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump's 2024 campaign — which spent the weekend bombarding email inboxes with fundraising appeals titled "Tomorrow, I will be arrested" and "Yes, I've been indicted, BUT" — has announced Trump will deliver remarks at Mar-a-Lago at 8:15 PM ET.
Trump's arraignment is reported to start at 2:15 ET as he faces charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Trump announced on social media that he would fly to New York on Monday, and planned to spend the night at his apartment there.
Once he's done with the court appearance, Trump is expected to hop back on his jet and speed home for what's sure to be a fiery response to what he's repeatedly called a politically motivated "witch hunt."
