| 0:02.8 | Hey, good morning, Playbookers. I'm Rogul Mono Mnivalin. By now, you've probably heard the news, |
| 0:08.6 | but here's what we're watching when it comes to Trump's indictment. It's Friday, March 31st. |
| 0:15.2 | At 7.15 p.m. last night, Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg made it official with this statement. |
| 0:22.1 | This evening, we contacted Mr. Trump's attorney to coordinate his surrender to the |
| 0:27.2 | Manhattan DA's office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under |

| 1:28.0 | office asked for Donald Trump to surrender on Friday following a grand jury's vote to indict |
| 1:33.9 | the former president. But lawyers for Trump rebuffed the request saying that the Secret Service, |
| 1:39.3 | which provides security detail for the former president, needed more time to prepare. |
| 1:45.4 | The exchange, which was relate to Politico, by a law enforcement source and confirmed by Joe Takopina, a lawyer for |
| 1:51.0 | the former president, underscores the extremely delicate, unprecedented nature of the indictment. |
| 1:57.7 | CNN reports that the indictment includes more than 30 counts. |
