Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg requested that former President Trump surrender to his office Friday following his unprecedented indictment Thursday evening, but a source familiar told Fox News Digital that Trump will surrender himself next week due to U.S. Secret Service involvement.
The former president of the United States, and the leading Republican presidential nominee for 2024, was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury Thursday after a years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
The source told Fox News Digital that Bragg had requested Trump’s surrender to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office by Friday — the day after the indictment — but that timeline was extended due to arrangements needed to be made by Secret Service.
The source told Fox News Digital Trump will "most likely" surrender on Tuesday.
Typically, a defendant who surrenders in a nonviolent case would surrender to a central booking location, legal experts have explained. However, special accommodations are likely being arranged because this indictment involves a former president of the United States.
The Secret Service and the New York Police Department are expected to play a large role in process next week.
The indictment of the former president comes after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump for hush money payments made leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
