WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump departed his Mar-a-Lago estate Monday for New York, where he's been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury.

Trump and his motorcade left Mar-a-Lago about 12:20 p.m. and headed toward Palm Beach International Airport, where his private plane was waiting to fly him to New York before Tuesday's arraignment.

Supporters lined Southern Boulevard to greet Trump as the former president and 2024 presidential candidate made his way from Mar-a-Lago to the airport.

Trump was indicted last week in connection with the ongoing investigation by New York prosecutors into a hush-money scheme involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Trump's plane took off about 1 p.m. en route for New York's LaGuardia Airport. It landed about 3:30 p.m.

He's believed to be staying the night at his Manhattan residence before appearing in court. After the arraignment, Trump intends to return to Mar-a-Lago, where he's scheduled to provide public remarks Tuesday night.
