Good morning, everyone. I'm Playbook co-author, Ryan Lizza. It's Tuesday, June 13th, and I'm coming to you from Miami, where Donald Trump is scheduled to be arraigned today.

The last few days, we focused on what's in that 37 count indictment against Trump.

In the newsletter today, we're going to take a look at what Trump's best defenses may be as this criminal case goes forward.

And now to break down what we can expect to happen today in Miami, we're going to bring in Politico's Josh Gerstein. Good morning, Josh.

Hey, Ryan. Good to chat with you. Let's start quickly with what's going to happen today. What is the

schedule here? So we expect sometime in the mid-afternoon around 1-2 o'clock, former president's

motorcade, to show up at the

federal courthouse, one of the federal courthouse buildings in downtown Miami.

And probably he'll go through some sort of booking process at that point, similar to what

folks saw up in New York City, likely to involve fingerprinting and maybe a DNA swab and so forth, sort of the indignities of

being charged criminally in the federal system. And then around three o'clock, we expect him to go

to the 13th floor of that courthouse and go in front of a magistrate judge to have the formal

initiation of this historic criminal case against him, to have the charges

read to him, to have the potential punishments read to him to make sure that he has a lawyer

and to set some future date for the case. It's also possible they'll talk about release conditions.

That's something they normally bring up at a hearing such as this, but I can't imagine it being a very significant issue when you're talking about the former president.

And I'd also mention there will be, we believe, another defendant there, Walt Nauta, who is the president's former valet and a personal aide who was also charged in this indictment.

We expect him and his lawyers to be there too.

Let's talk about some of the folks who will be in the court today.

The former president has been having some trouble recruiting lawyers to his team.

I know you've been doing some reporting about that. Josh, what can you tell us?
