Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit New Orleans Monday.
This comes after Trump was convicted of felony crimes back in May.
He became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes after a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to an adult film star who said the two had sex.
His visit Monday to the city will serve as a fundraiser for his presidential campaign ahead of the November election.
Here is everything you need to know before he arrives:
Information regarding the exact time Trump is expected to land in New Orleans has not been released. However, he is expected to arrive at the airport sometime Monday evening.
Traffic may come to a crawl once Trump’s motorcade leaves the airport in Kenner and heads to Interstate 10 en route to Metairie.
Residents should expect longer-than-normal delays in the event of road closures during Trump’s travel.
The fundraising event is being hosted by Joy and Boysie Bollinger and Sue Ellen and Joe Canizaro.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is listed as a special guest.
This event appears to be similar to one last year held in Old Metairie.
According to the invitation, a ticket to the VIP reception costs $3,300 per person. A ticket that includes a photo opportunity will cost $25,000 per photo.
The location of the event has not been revealed. Attendees will be notified after they submit their RSVP.
