So let's go to Shimon Prokupecz, who is outside the courthouse in Miami. Give us the latest on the ground view of the security situation. Shimon, what are you seeing So, Jake, we're standing on the corner where everyone here from law enforcement to some of the supporters have now gathered as they get ready for their former president to drive this way and enter the courthouse. We expect this to happen at any minute. As you can see now, some of the highway patrol, the motorcycles are here. This was not here earlier. And then on the other side, we have the street clothes as well as everyone here at this point is just waiting. I'm trying to look and see if I can see the motorcade at some point drive up this block to see these are coming up this block. And, Jake, what's going to happen is, is he's going to make a left here and head right into the courthouse here. You could see in our shot here, there are some officers, Secret Service agents and U.S. Marshals. That is where we believe he's going to drive down and into that building where he will begin the process of being placed under arrest and then the arraignment. But at any point now, we should see him take a drive by. We can hear the sirens as they are approaching here and about to make this turn here. Where law enforcement, as you can see behind me, Jake, has shut the street down. And we see some of the law enforcement here. Now, Jake, driving in. You could see this and there is one of the here is the motorcade. Now, Jake and Shimon, describe the crowd as you can. As you can discern their mood and their actions, from our view, thousands of miles away. It looks like a relatively peaceful crowd The second black SUV. Yeah, it is a relative. It's been peaceful, Jake. You're right. Absolutely right. It's a peaceful crowd. What we just saw. So you can see some of the cameras there. And the police are pushing away somebody who is dressed kind of like as a cartoon prisoner with a sign that says lock him up. But he got on the street, I think was the issue there and the police came and pushed him aside, although it didn't look like a tremendously violent confrontation. Sorry. Go ahead. Yeah, because what's happened here is this people have been able to just stand here, right. We've been talking about the barricades. They're not being any of those metal barricades to people to keep people from running into the street. Well, that's exactly what happened here. People can run freely. All we have, really, are the officers who are standing around trying to keep people back. But now the former president, Donald Trump, is inside the federal building where he will be placed under arrest, Jake, where he will be taken in process, as we've been talking about, the fingerprint team, the other things that they do in the process. And so now we await for his appearance, Jake. All right. Shimon Prokupecz, thank you so much. And as we watch these images, let's chat with my panel here and Dana Bash. I mean, we should just take a moment here. This is a historic day and not in the good sense. This is the second time a former president, Donald John Trump, has been arrested and arraigned the first time it's on federal charges. All of the swirling politics, all of the back and forth that defend him, not defend him. You're exactly right. That is all maybe for this moment important to put aside and to mark the history that this is something that they will be learning about in history books for a very, very long time forever. And as you said. And not in a good way. Not in a good way. Jamie Gangel. Truly an ugly, ugly moment given the seriousness of the offenses that Donald Trump is accused of committing. The gravity of the charges, the evidence arraigned, the evidence in the indictment, the evidence late against him. And we talk to Republicans who are not in the thrall of MAGA. The former attorney general, Bill Barr, who's very supportive of Trump in many in under many accusations, but not in this one. Talking about the gravity of these allegations. Bill Barr saying if half of what's in the indictment is true, it's horrible for Donald Trump. Obviously a Republican presidential rival, but Chris Christie, also a former ally of Trump and a former U.S. attorney talking about how Donald Trump brought this all on himself. It is in a lot of ways. I mean, it's good to have a system of government where no one is above the law. In a lot of ways. This is a very a sad moment in American history. Absolutely. To quote Bill Barr, he said, if even half of it is true, he's toast. That is someone who used to be a loyal ally of Trump's. You know, to this point, yes, this is historic. And to your point, sad but I think we also have to talk about the big picture context. This is not the only thing that Donald Trump is facing. We had the charges in New York that arrest an arraignment two months ago. We have the special counsel is also investigating him for January six. We, I think, expect something to happen in Georgia. The Fulton County investigation may be in in August. I was struck by two things today. One is that the surreal part is we've done this before. This is now oddly normal. For us. We have seen Donald Trump taken in, arrested and and arraigned. The other thing to me was the difference in security between Florida and New York. In New York, they locked down lower Manhattan. You know, luckily, the crowds don't seem to be thousands and seemed to be pretty well behaved. But, you know, considering what we were hearing last night, the security scenes, I mean, Andy, you can speak to this is just doesn't look like during much security. Let me before it before we do that, let me let me jump to John Miller to talk to us right now about what exactly is going on inside that building, John. So right now, the president would be going through the garage, into the freight elevator. He will be going with his Secret Service detail, which has him under protection. But there's going to be a moment certain. And it could be in that elevator or it could be up in the U.S. Marshal's office where he's going to be approached by the two FBI agents who are technically arresting him on all these charges in the name of the U.S. government. And at that point, the Secret Service takes a step back because he is no longer their protectee in a sense. He is in the custody of the FBI until such time a federal magistrate at the end of this arraignment and it's entirely likely that they will say you're free to go. And these are the following conditions, which are probably just going to be the have to return to court in between. He will be he will be fingerprinted with the electronic scan and those prints will be run against the records and entered in We are told by Kaitlan Collins that the procedure of taking a DNA, a DNA swab from his mouth with a Q-Tip, which is the procedure for all federal arrestees, is going to be skipped. In this case, we're not sure why a photograph of him will be uploaded into the system It'll be an open source photograph. They're not going to take a formal mug shot because there are plenty of pictures I'm available to put in that record. And then there'll be a brief holding time for the magistrate to get ready. And then he and his team will go to that courtroom where he'll be represented by his defense lawyers enter that plea and the rest will unfold on the record. What I described is the part that nobody is going to see. Also, no one will see in the courtroom because there are no cameras allowed, no recording devices, no telephones. But there will be reporters and sketch artists and we will hear after the hearing what occurred.
