Former US president Donald Trump has arrived in New York ahead of his arraignment on Tuesday on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign.

Mr Trump’s personal plane landed at LaGuardia Airport on Monday afternoon after his flight from Florida, where he had been staying at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
