Former President Donald Trump arrives at Trump Tower in New York on Monday, April 3.  (Jeenah Moon/Reuters) Donald Trump will officially become the first former president to face criminal charges Tuesday when he’s arraigned in a New York courtroom – an appearance that is expected to be quick and routine but represents a surreal and historic moment in US history . Trump is set to arrive at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan Tuesday afternoon, where his arrest will be processed by the district attorney’s office and he will be brought to the courtroom to hear the charges against him.

When Olivia Roman was a pre-teen, she started to notice alarming changes in her digestive system. Every time she ate, she felt sick. She had no energy, and began throwing up after nearly every meal. Then she started losing weight. Roman was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 11, and spent her early teenage years relying on an overnight feeding tube to manage the painful, incurable digestive condition. “At school everyone’s having lunch and I’m just, like, there with nothing — and then I go home and I eat while I sleep, through my nose,” the now-20-year-old recalled. Everything changed once Roman started taking a biologic drug called Remicade. Part of a complex, cutting-edge class of medications, the Johnson & Johnson medication is given to her every eight weeks through an intravenous
