Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, became the first former president to be arrested on Tuesday. After surrendering to authorities in Manhattan, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges during a closed-door hearing.

The details of the indictment against Trump have not yet been revealed, but the day provided a series of striking images. The New York–born mogul slowly traveled from Trump Tower in Midtown to a courthouse in Lower Manhattan via motorcade.

Trump seemed to speak for many Americans, both those who support him and those who loathe him, in a social-media posting during that trip: “Heading to Lower Manhattan, the Courthouse. Seems so SURREAL — WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!”

Reaching the courthouse, Trump briefly turned to acknowledge bystanders before heading inside without making any remarks. He was later seen entering a courtroom after being processed. An instant-classic photograph from the court showed Trump walking through a poorly hit hallway, glaring at news photographers while surrounded by police officers, Secret Service agents, and lawyers, a strange echo of Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro The Night Watch.

Knowing Trump’s mind is impossible, but although some close to Trump had publicly suggested ahead of the appearance that he would face the humiliating process with a display of bravado, the former president instead seemed subdued. He left the courtroom without making a public statement. He is expected to speak tonight at Mar-a-Lago. In the meantime, for the moment, the former president has exercised a right afforded to defendants but one that he seldom favors: the right to remain silent.

This is a developing story, and will be updated.
