Former U.S. president Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced following the arraignment. Bragg went on to say the evidence would show Trump made allegedly false statements so "to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election."

He said Trump, lawyer Michael Cohen and executives at American Media Incorporated agreed in 2015 to a "catch-and-kill scheme, that is a scheme to buy and suppress negative information to help Mr. Trump's chance of winning the (2016) election."

Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly assailed the investigation, has called the indictment “political persecution” and predicted it would damage Democrats in 2024. Trump’s lawyers have said the former president “did not commit any crime. We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”

After the arraignment, the judge and legal teams will set dates for the next hearing and deadlines for discovery, in which the district attorney’s office must turn over all its information to Trump’s lawyers, and motions, which include any requests to shift the venue or dismiss the case outright.
