Daily Telegraph - Trump under arrest
Summary of the front page
“Trump under arrest” reads the Telegraph’s front page. The paper also reports the former president is facing claims he paid hush money over an alleged love child.
Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing the case, said he was “concerned” over Mr Trump’s rhetoric in the lead-up to the historic hearing, the paper adds.
Mr Trump has used social media to attack both the judge and prosecutor Alvin Bragg. The paper opts for an image of the former president sitting alongside his defence team in court.
A story about government plans to reportedly bar trans people from female sports and single-sex spaces also makes the paper’s front page.
