Its a development that the former president has seized upon to rally his supporters against prosecutors.
Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected.

The former presidents most prominent competition for the Republican nomination next year, Florida Gov.
Yet, now he is… Read an overview of the case from the Manhattan DAs office from April 2022 below.
Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels, which she alleges took place in 2006.
But federal prosecutors also examined the payment and did not press charges.
I believe that Donald, right now, is petrified, Cohen said in an MSNBC interview today.
This is one of his biggest fears.
The hard work and conscientiousness of the grand jurors must be respected.
Now let truth and justice prevail.
No one is above the law.
The ex-publishers return to court on Monday likely was a tipping point in the investigation, according to sources.
Pecker was previously granted immunity by federal prosecutors in their investigation.
Smith also is looking into Trumps handling of classified information that was found at Mar-a-Lago last summer.
Other Republicans were more cautious.
Donald Trump should not be the next President, but that should be decided by the voters.
There should be no outside political influence, intimidation or interference in the case.
I encourage both Mr. Trumps critics and supporters to let the process proceed peacefully and according to the law.

They are going through documents, interviewing witnesses, and exploring evidence not previously explored.
The team is led by Susan Hoffinger, Chief of the Investigation Division.
High-profile, complex investigations have been trademarks of my professional career.
Indeed, litigation involving the former president himself is not foreign to me.

It is a felony in New York for a prosecutor to disclose grand jury matters.
And for good reason.

Unauthorized public disclosures also potentially can affect a defendants right to a fair trial.
In the meantime, we will not be discussing our investigative steps.
Nor will we be discussing grand jury matters.
In short, as we have previously said, the investigation continues.
