With a crush of media and dozens of protesters present, former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities at a courthouse in lower Manhattan. After pleading not guilty to 34 felony charges, he quickly flew back to Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where he greeted his loyal supporters with a lengthy speech professing his innocence. NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weighed in on Trump’s 24-hour whirlwind and discussed how the charges may affect his hopes of becoming the Republican presidential nominee. They also looked at the case Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has built against Trump and the complexities within it.
Meanwhile in Albany, the April 1 deadline came and went and the state budget has still not been delivered. Proposed changes to bail reform continue to hold up the budget this year. The team talked about what it will take to push it over the finish line and also what the process indicates about Kathy Hochul’s governorship so far.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the indictment of Donald Trump.
