Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday (21.03.23).
The 76-year-old billionaire took to his own social media platform, Truth Social, to reveal he expects to be arrested in the coming days, and Trump has already urged his supporters to launch mass protests.
Trump – who is running for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election – wrote on the platform: ‘The far leading Republican nominee and former President of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next week’ .
Trump explained that his suspicions were based on “illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office.”
The outspoken businessman also called on his supporters to protest.
He wrote: “Protest, take back our nation!”
Trump also criticized the current US administration.
He said, “It’s time!!! We are a nation in steep decline being led into World War III by a crooked politician.”
The court case involving Trump centers on alleged sums of money paid on his behalf to former porn star Stormy Daniels, before the 2016 election.
Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen, his attorney, after Cohen paid Daniels $130,000. The official record of the payment says it was “legal fees.”
In 2018, Cohen was jailed for three years after confessing to making the payment.
Meanwhile, Trump attorney Susan Necheles insists her team hasn’t heard anything official.
She said: “Since this is a political prosecution, the District Attorney’s Office has engaged in a practice of leaking everything to the press, rather than contacting President Trump’s attorneys like this. would be the case in a normal case.”
Trump – who was president of the United States between 2017 and 2021 – has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
