On April 4th, former US President Donald Trump made an appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court after being indicted on 34 felony charges. This was a historic moment as he became the first US president to face criminal charges in court. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Since the announcement of Trump's indictment on March 30th, major news outlets from around the world have been waiting outside the courthouse and Trump Tower to report on his arrival. The scene outside the courthouse has been chaotic with police barricades, security personnel, journalists, anti-Trump demonstrators, Trump supporters, and curious pedestrians all adding to the media frenzy.
On Tuesday, the trial of former US President Donald Trump began in New York, and it has been described as an overwhelming and unprecedented event by reporters who have covered high-profile trials in the past. Clarissa-Jan Lim, a senior reporter for BuzzFeed News, spent the entire day both inside and outside the court.
The trial has drawn a lot of attention, with press photographers and videographers marking their spots on the sidewalk across from the court with painter's tape displaying their media outlet's name. The entire block of Centre Street was lined with tents and camera equipment.
The day before Trump's court appearance, a small group of his supporters gathered in Collect Pond Park across from the courthouse, waving "Fuck Biden" flags and wearing MAGA apparel. Some were livestreaming and promoting unfounded conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the 2020 election.
