Trump’s path in and out of the building has reportedly been carefully mapped by secret service agents who visited the courthouse on Friday to assess the various routes.Īgents and officers will surround Trump as he enters and leaves in order to separate him from members of the public, an anonymous law enforcement official told the Washington Post. New York police officers will secure the area surrounding the building and nearby roads will be closed off. Regardless, there will be huge numbers of cameras and reporters waiting for him there. It’s not clear if Donald Trump will make remarks to the media before he leaves Trump Tower or when he arrives outside court. The journey itself is about a 30-minute drive south through Manhattan - but that time could be much less if there’s a full police escort. The former president’s journey from Trump Tower to the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building tomorrow will be a major security operation involving large numbers of police and secret service agents.

The political question will be in the raw numbers: does it win him more voters or lose him voters? I've also heard from Democrats who say the spectacle of Trump on trial is bound to weaken him as he runs for the White House, and the reminder of his alleged affair with a former porn star will turn off evangelical Christians who once supported him. Since the indictment was announced, I've heard from people close to the former president who've told me this is bad news for Democrats because this is a weak case, the weakest of all the potential cases against Trump. We don't know the charges, we don't know the evidence and we don't know how the trial will unfold. Don't trust anyone who tells you they know the political implications of this indictment.
