Daily Briefing: Will Trump make a spectacle of his arraignment?

Former President Donald Trump issued calls to arms − of sorts − to his followers ahead of his appearance in a Miami court this week. Also in the news: Ukraine has recaptured a fourth village in a refreshed offensive against Russia and the 2023 Tony Awards delivered performances from fan-favorite shows like "Funny Girl" ...and a few gripes about Ron DeSantis.

Now, here we go with Monday's news.

How will Trump's court appearance unfold?

When Trump made the dramatic announcement on his social media platform last week that he'd been indicted by the Department of Justice, he made sure to issue a vague call to arms, sharing with his supporters he will appear at a federal court in Miami on Tuesday.

But what, exactly, might happen on Tuesday before, during and after Trump's initial court appearance as the first president in history to face federal felony charges?

• Trump may decide to adopt a much more contentious approach than he did in April in New York, where he quietly exited his SUV and walked inside.

• We know the former president was especially vitriolic about this indictment, which involves his handling of the classified documents he took with him when leaving the White House.

• What will this mean for voters? There has never been a candidate like the under-indictment former president who is still seeking another term in the White House in 2024.

Ukraine claims recapture of 4th village

Ukrainian military officials said Monday their forces have retaken another village from Russian forces, signaling incremental successes in ramped-up counteroffensive operations against Moscow’s more than 15-month invasion of Ukraine. A day earlier, Ukrainian officials said three other small villages had been liberated, although Russian authorities did not confirm the Russian losses. The move also comes as the Kakhovka dam's breach has most likely disrupted the usual supply of fresh water to Crimea, forcing Russian authorities to impose rationing, use reservoirs, drill new wells and bring in bottled water to meet the needs of the population in the occupied peninsula, the British Defense Ministry said.

Tanker fire causes part of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia to collapse

A heavily traveled segment of the East Coast’s main north-south highway is closed indefinitely, authorities said.

The fire took about an hour to get under control and in a Sunday night update, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said at least one vehicle was still trapped under the collapsed roadway but there were no immediate reports of injuries. Read more
