As former President Donald Trump arrived at Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, a police officer let the door close on the 45th president as he made his way to the courtroom.

There were two police officers who walked through double doors inside the courthouse ahead of Trump, with the first officer holding the door for the second officer behind him, then the second officer letting the door go for Trump to push the door open for himself. Doors are held open for current and former presidents.

Trump on Tuesday pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy related to his alleged role in hush money payments to two women.
