Donald Trump said in a social media post that he might be arrested Tuesday as a Recent York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the previous president.
Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network early Saturday that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicate that “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”
Trump urged his followers to protest.
Law enforcement officials in Recent York have been making security preparations for the chance that Trump might be indicted.
There was no public announcement of any time-frame for the grand jury’s secret work within the case, including any potential vote on whether to indict the ex-president.
