The DA’s office reportedly wanted to take Trump in their possession on Friday morning. However, the president's legal team argued that the secret service needed more preparation time.
The Secret Service has to coordinate the surrender conditions with court officials and the New York Police Department.
“This evening we contacted Mr. Trump’s attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan D.A.’s Office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal. Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected," said a spokesperson from the DA's office.
According to ABC News, New York City police officers were instructed to show up for work at 7 am on Friday in uniform.

Trump is reportedly not going to resist his arrest.
