Trump departs Florida home to make court appearance in NYC

Former President Trump traveled from his Florida home Monday afternoon to New York City for his Tuesday court date.

Trump’s motorcade departed his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach shortly after 12:15 p.m. EDT en route to a local airport. CNN, Fox News and MSNBC all aired live coverage of the SUVs making their way through the streets of Palm Beach and onto the highway. 

Some supporters gathered along the street near his Mar-a-Lago estate as the vehicles rolled by, and dozens more were waiting for Trump by the airport, waving flags and cheering as the motorcade arrived. 

The former president traveled with a handful of campaign aides to New York City, including top advisers like Susie Wiles, Chris LaCavita and Jason Miller.
