| 0:00.0 | And you're looking at live images right now, the Fulton County, Georgia Jail, wearing |
| 0:14.5 | just a few hours former President Donald Trump will be placed under arrest. Welcome to |
| 0:20.3 | the lead and CNN special coverage of this historic event. I'm Jake Tapper in Washington, |
| 0:25.3 | DC. Trump is now making his way down to Georgia just a few minutes ago. We saw his motor |
| 0:29.6 | paid leave, his New Jersey golf resort and head to the Newark airport, the former President |
| 0:34.7 | announcing his plans on his social media, posting, quote, arrest time at 7.30 p.m. before |
