On Tuesday afternoon, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony criminal charges related to falsifying business records in Manhattan criminal court.

Trump surrendered and was placed under arrest before being arraigned in a highly unusual court appearance where he heard the charges for the first time.

The case is expected to impact Trump’s 2024 candidacy as he defends himself in both court and the public eye. Prosecutors claim that Trump attempted to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election through a hush money scheme, including an illegal payment of $130,000 to women who claimed to have had extramarital affairs with him.

Trump denies these allegations. The charging documents allege that he repeatedly falsified New York business records to conceal criminal activity and hide damaging information from the voting public during the election.
