The streets of Lower Manhattan buzzed with activity on Tuesday ahead of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-arraignment-in-manhattan-what-to-expect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arraignment</a>.
A mishmash of Trump supporters and counter-protesters gathered and, in some cases, clashed outside the lower Manhattan courthouse. Journalists have been lined up outside the building since Monday night.

There was a heavy law enforcement presence, and much of the area was cordoned off. Manhattan District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alvin-bragg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alvin Bragg</a>, who is bringing the case against Trump, arrived at the courthouse on Tuesday morning.

Two high-profile members of Congress — Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and George Santos (R-NY) — made public appearances to voice their support for Trump, but didn&#8217;t stay long as the scene quickly got loud and chaotic.
&#8220;Stay strong. The people are with him,&#8221; Santos said.

During a car interview with the Right Side Broadcasting Network, Greene said she spoke with Trump on Monday and shared that he is &#8220;completely committed to fighting this injustice.&#8221;
People also gathered outside Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, where Trump stayed overnight. The former president has been posting to Truth Social, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-hates-me-what-you-should-know-about-the-new-york-judge-assigned-to-trump-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking aim at</a> Bragg and the presiding judge.

The arraignment is set for 2:15 p.m. EDT. About an hour beforehand, Trump left Trump Tower and drove to the courthouse. When he arrived, Trump waved and raised a fist into the air before entering the building.

Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan issued a ruling late Monday denying a request by a coalition of news outlets for video coverage, but he will allow photographers to take still photos before the arraignment begins.
