Financial Times - Trump enters not guilty plea to 34 counts on day of drama in New York

Summary of the front page

Trump’s “day of drama” is the main story on the front page of the Financial Times. The paper also covers allegations of workplace misconduct at the Confederation of British Industry, which has resulted in the organisation cancelling all external events today. 

The paper reports that the “dramatic legal reckoning” will threaten Mr Trump’s plans to return to the White House. The paper reports that the indictment represents a “huge moment of peril” for Mr Trump, who is facing the prospect of trying to pursue a presidential campaign while also defending himself in one or multiple criminal trials. 

Mr Trump was “ashen-faced” as he and his lawyers entered the Manhattan court room, having earlier struck a “defiant” pose before departing in his motorcade from Trump Tower, the paper says.
