Trump arrested live updates: Indicted ex-president enters courtroom for arraignment
Trump is due to appear before acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan at 2:15 p.m. ET.
News outlets pushed for the judge to allow camera access during the hearing, an effort Trump’s lawyers have opposed and which Merchan denied.
Bragg will hold a news conference following the arraignment.
The ex-president, meanwhile, plans to travel back to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida after the hearing and deliver remarks there.
Trump denies the claim by Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, that she had sex with him one time in 2006.
He also denies wrongdoing related to the $130,000 payment Cohen gave her to keep quiet about the alleged tryst.
Trump’s arraignment began around 2:30 p.m. ET, for the first time in history a former American president has appeared in court to face a criminal charge.
Trump is expected to plead not guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court. He also is expected to be released without bail. — Dan Mangan
