Episode Synopsis

On Tuesday, Donald Trump was arraigned at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse for paying $130,000 in hush money to a former mistress in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign and then falsifying related business documents. Supporters and detractors of Trump rallied outside the courthouse. The intense divisions of the Trump era were on full display as well as the toxic brew of grievances and conspiracy theories embraced by the former president’s most rabid followers.
