STORYLINE:
A small group of former President Donald Trump supporters are waiting for his arrival outside Trump Towers in New York.
The supporters are vastly outnumbered by members of the media, also waiting for Trump.
Trump flew from Florida on Monday aboard his private plane toward New York and his historic booking and arraignment on hush money charges. The nation's largest city bolstered security and warned potential protesters it was “not a playground for your misplaced anger.”
Trump's motorcade from his Mar-a-Lago club to his red, white and blue Boeing 757, emblazoned with his name in gold letters, was carried live on national television. It took him past supporters waving banners and cheering, blasting the case against him — stemming from payments made during his 2016 campaign — as politically motivated.
The scene was quite different in New York, where Trump built a national profile in business and entertainment but became deeply unpopular as he moved into politics. Prosecutors say their case against him has nothing to do with politics and have defended the work of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who is leading it.
Monday's return to the city opens an unprecedented chapter in American history, with Trump the first former president to face criminal charges even as he is in the midst of a third campaign for the White House. It is causing major legal, political and cultural events to collide in unprecedented ways.
