He's already been indicted. "Indicted" means, "A grand jury has decided there is enough evidence to send this case to trial."
On Tuesday, he's being arraigned. "Arraigned" means you have to appear in court to formally hear the charges against you - the charges that the grand jury decided were worth pursuing - and be fingerprinted and mug-shotted.
If they feel like it, you can be arrested and held in jail until the trial. It looks like Trump will be released (probably with monster bail) to return to Florida but I would put nothing past them.
I don't think that this is their gotcha moment. I think that the precedent was set so that the other prosecutors who didn't want to be first to indict a president, don't have that issue anymore. I'm afraid that it might be a first play by the J6 crew (or the GA crew)- for something trivial and some BS misdemeanor that they're trying to turn into a felony by claiming that campaign funds were used. I think that we might be in for a bumpy ride, but it will ultimately blow up in their faces.

Yeah, I'm confused. But then again, I usually am.
