Donald Trump has been arrested on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, in part relating to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair with him. He denies all charges, including the affair.

The charges potentially carry a steep penalty.

But before you get too excited, it could also just lead to a fine – which would undoubtedly be paid by continuing to pass the begging bowl around the MAGA faithful.

The judge at the hearing in New York had a word about Trump’s attitude towards the proceedings.

The former President will doubtless have been seething at not receiving the deference he might have expected.

In court, he looked tired and sullen, which a court artist captured beautifully.

Twitter was awash with commentary, of course, but these stood out.
