Here’s what we know about what happens next in the legal proceeding against former President Trump.

When will the indictment be made public?

Unclear. The district attorney, Alvin Bragg, can ask the court to unseal the charges before Trump appears for his arraignment, which is expected next week, or wait for the first hearing in front of a judge.Trump’s attorneys have indicated that he will surrender and turn himself in for processing. If the case proceeds as other high-profile cases have in the past, he could be processed someplace within the district attorney’s office in lower Manhattan.

That would normally include paperwork, fingerprinting, a mug shot and a cross-check of any outstanding criminal charges, which would all happen behind closed doors. As for when he is actually “under arrest,” once he is in the custody of police officers, at that point he is not free to leave.That's unclear, too, but his Secret Service protection detail might complicate matters.Trump is expected to appear in person for his arraignment next week, as early as Tuesday.

That’s the first time the charges against him will be read in open court. Trump or his attorney on his behalf would enter a plea, and he would then be released with another court date. Trump would not have to post bail given the nature of the charges.It’s up to the judge. Given the historic nature of the events, media outlets will likely make the request, but the judge doesn’t have to allow cameras.

I can’t wIt to vote for Trump2024. I’ll now crawl over broken glass and salt fields to get to the polling station.

It was the word of a porn star against that of an ex-president... Trump Indicted! 🤗

MAGA tears and more fleecing of the not very smart is what happens next.

What happens next is we all laugh at him. Then come the memes!

More indictments.

I can’t help but think that if the media had done their job, it wouldn’t exist because Hillary Clinton would have been elected first female president of the United States. And NBC, do you remember the Matt Lauer interview?

Wrong. So obviously wrong. Most Middle Schoolers know this—at least they used to, when civics and the Constitution was respected in schools. You're innocent until proven guilty.

Not only that, but for a woman he calls horse face

Bragg is turning President Trump into an American Hero! President Trump 2024!

All hell will break loose. The legal process is on trial as well as DC.

Individual 1, right?

Why are people so polarized? You would think Trump was America’s King! You must understand that 12 people from all walks of life concluded that this man should stand trial! Bragg presented evidence. Ultimately it was not his decision! You must be “woke” to understand this! 🙄

and when it all falls apart.. the level of REEEEEEEE from the left will be glorious!

-the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country- have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement.'

'This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history,' Trump said in a statement. 'From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats-

Democrats can have their trial, but it means nothing. We simply deny that Democrats have jurisdiction over us.

What y'all need to know is this: WAIT TILL THE CASE IS UNSEALED! Dang.

Should Trump be locked up?

Next, he commits an act in contempt of court, then the court gets to decide if it wants to be his doormat until trial or lock him up with no bail.
