Former President Donald Trump surrendered at a local court in New York to face charges related to a payoff made to a p*rn star to buy her silence. He is the first former US president to be arrested and face trial in the nation's history. The arrest was under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, and Trump was not handcuffed or paraded around. He is also a candidate for next year's presidential election and the leading candidate for the Republican nomination. The charges relate to a payoff allegedly made through his former lawyer Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an affair with him in 2006.
