The arraignment seems to be taking a lot longer than these things usually go. Wisely, the judge decided not to have cameras running the courtroom to limit the potential for theatrics, but the specific charges are not yet in the public eye until the proceeding is over.

The case # is 71543-23 and paper copies of the indictment have been released to reporters, so it'll probably be available in the next hour or two. Reporters who were in court said it's a barebones indictment with 34 felony (class E) counts of falsifying business records, along with a 'statement of facts' summarizing the case. No gag orders from the court, but judge admonished both parties to restrain their rhetoric in public statements.
