Most legal experts believe it’s a matter of if, not when, a New York grand jury returns an indictment against former President Donald Trump over alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
But how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg would handle the surrender of the first former American president to be indicted remains an open question.
Business Insider’s Laura Italiano mapped out multiple likely scenarios Wednesday in a report that includes interviews with multiple current and former Manhattan DA prosecutors.
Trump would likely be treated as most defendants are, but with some notable exceptions, the report said.
Trump wouldn't learn about an indictment until prosecutors contact his lawyers and both sides agree on a date for the former president to surrender to authorities.
Trump wouldn’t know the specific charges until they are unsealed.
But once the surrender date is agreed upon, word will likely get out fast, Manhattan defense lawyer Ron Kuby told the news outlet.
"Half the DA's office and their husbands and wives will know once they set a surrender date. All of Trumpville will know, Kuby said. "Between the two, it'll be out in two hours."
Trump would then surrender to the at the DA’s Lower Manhattan headquarters at an agreed-upon time and be taken into custody by NYPD officers, who would arrest the former president and take him to the seventh or ninth floor for booking.
Trump would then have his fingerprints and mugshot taken along with a DNA sample that would be entered into a database.
