AP sources: Trump facing at least one felony charge in NY case

US Former President Donald Trump is facing multiple charges of falsifying business records, including at least one felony offence, in the indictment handed down by a Manhattan grand jury.

He will be formally arrested and arraigned in his hush-money case, setting the scene for the historic, shocking moment when a former president is forced to stand before a judge to hear the criminal charges against him, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The indictment remained sealed and the specific charges were not immediately known, but details were confirmed by people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information that isn’t yet public.

The streets outside the courthouse where the arraignment will unfold were calm on March 31 compared with earlier in the week. There were no large-scale demonstrations for or against Trump, though tourists stopped to take selfies and throngs of reporters and police officers remained assembled.
