‘I am being arrested for you’: Trump says
Donald Trump has made his first comments as he heads to Washington DC for his arraignment.
He issued the following statement (yes, in all caps) on his social media site Truth Social.
“I AM NOW GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TO BE ARRESTED FOR HAVING CHALLENGED A CORRUPT, RIGGED, & STOLEN ELECTION. IT IS A GREAT HONOR, BECAUSE I AM BEING ARRESTED FOR YOU. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump said.
About an hour later he added the following:
“Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!!!”

I’m Latika Bourke and I’ll be keeping you updated on the extraordinary spectacle about to unfold of a former US President charged with trying to defraud the United States.
In total, Trump faces four counts or charges under the indictment released earlier this week by special counsel Jack Smith.
We expect Trump to appear in person at the US federal courthouse in Washington DC, ensuring worldwide televised and news coverage, to plead not guilty and that the charges are political.
