Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday, pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records, campaign finance violations, and other charges. The charges stem from a payment made to Stormy Daniels, who had previously claimed to have had an affair with Trump, and the seriousness of the charges has taken many by surprise. The case was dismissed in 2018, and Daniels was ordered to pay Trump's legal fees, leading to Seth Meyers' comment that most people initially expected one or two charges.
