Several prominent figures, including Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Republican House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and Dr. Ben Carson, are likely to appear in court with former President Donald Trump. The list of potential attendees also includes former Republican 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), and Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Cory Mills (R-FL), who accompanied Trump to the courthouse in Manhattan for his business records trial.
According to a list compiled by ODDSPR using data from BetOnline.ag, Sen. Scott had a one-in-three chance of attending, Rep. Stefanik had a one-in-one chance, and Dr. Carson had a six-in-five chance of making an appearance at the courthouse. Other figures like Alex Jones and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) also had odds of appearing.
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson were also listed with odds of making an appearance at the courthouse with Trump.

The trial revolves around Trump facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to alleged payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
