Welcome to the beat, I am Ari Melder,

and we'll start right here with the pictures.

It may look pretty standard,

but it is a significant roadway there

in front of the Fulton County jail

where defendant and former president Donald Trump

is awaiting his Rico booking.

So that's outside the entrance.

We are told he will surrender

and be processed through the normal rules.

Now, many are expecting a mug shot.

One way to think about it is this is a Rico case

where there are co-defendants.

And every other co-defendant up to this point

has gone through the booking and gotten a mug shot.

But this is the news, not a crystal ball

and not a tarot card reading.

So I can't tell you what's gonna happen tonight or tomorrow.

I can tell you the president,

and that's why there's a lot of people

girting for what would be under the rules

because of the way the federal courts have worked.
