The report said it would be the first time Trump might not show up in person for his arraignment in the four criminal cases initiated against him on the basis of 13 alleged criminal offenses.
Meanwhile, several of Trump's 18 co-defendants have waived their formal arraignments and pleaded not guilty, which allows them to avoid in-person attendance of the hearing, the report added.
Trump and the co-defendants all surrendered at the Fulton County jail last week, with all but one of them free on bond agreements. The co-defendants will also be arraigned on September 6 but at a later time.
