Today's headlines: Former president Donald Trump has finally arrived in New York City and will be arraigned later today, leading to questions about just how much of the indictment we will be able to see, and whether or not a mugshot will be released to the viewing public. Meanwhile, following calls for protests from Trump and other public figures, all 36,000 of New York City’s police officers are on alert today in anticipation of potential unrest. The DOJ and FBI have reportedly uncovered new evidence which suggests Trump obstructed their investigation into top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago, even after they attempted to get him to return classified material. And in the final (for now) Trump-related story of the day, a new report shows that Ivana Trump was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence inquiry in the 1990s. Finally, we get an update on the ​​severe winter storms and life-threatening sub zero wind chills that continue to threaten much of the south and midwest.
