The former president's scowl was intended to send a specific message.
The former president remains the Republican Party's 2024 front-runner despite dozens of felony charges.
"Everything with him is about appearances and he wants to give off the appearance that everything is fine," the veteran New York Times reporter said.
But the journalist warned there's "a potential recipe for things getting a little complicated."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
"I expect that this is going to be incredibly nasty and an X factor is what Biden running is going to look like," Haberman said.
"He spins his own reality and will contradict whatever people say about him," Haberman said about Trump.
“That really sort of tells you something about where these folks’ heads are," said The New York Times reporter.
Trump's arrest "is going to be much more jarring for him than I think people realize," said the CNN analyst.
The paper's Maggie Haberman said the former president does "not want to face getting arrested, which is what happens when you get indicted."
The White House correspondent predicted when the former president's real jabs against his potential 2024 GOP rival may start to fly.
