The former President could be seen waving, and then raising his fist in the air in a moment that is surely to be remembered for the rest of time.

Multiple outlets are now reporting that the former President pleaded ‘not guilty’ to all 30+ counts of criminal charges against him.
Donald Trump, the former U.S. president and front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after an investigation into hush money paid to a porn star.
Wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, Trump, 76, exhibited little emotion on his face when he waved to a crowd assembled outside the courthouse after he was driven in a motorcade from his New York residence at Trump Tower.
Trump sat with his hands folded as he entered his plea flanked by his lawyers.
“Not guilty,” Trump said when asked how he pleaded.
He is the first sitting or former U.S. president to face criminal charges.
Taken together, the charges carry a maximum sentence of 136 years in prison under New York law but an actual prison sentence if he is convicted at a trial would almost certainly be far less than that.
