The former president of USA, donald trump, stated this Saturday that he believes he will be arrested on Tuesday and called on citizens to “protest and recover the nation.” The omen of the former Republican president occurs in the framework of an investigation into the payment of money to the porn star stormy daniels.
“Protest, Take Back Our Nation”, expressed on his social network Truth Social, without specifying the reason for the alleged arrest. Trump’s message uses rhetoric reminiscent of that used in the days before the assault on the Capitol, in January 2021, when he had also called on his supporters to demonstrate against the results of the elections in which he was defeated. by Joe Biden.
Last Wednesday, actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, met with Manhattan prosecutors to testify about the alleged secret payment made by a Republican leader in 2016, who allegedly tried to buy her silence so that she would never talk about their relationship. kept years ago.
Why does Donald Trump say he will be arrested?
The tycoon justified his message based on “Illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly politicized Manhattan DA’s office that has enabled new records for violent crime to be set and whose leader is financed by George Soros.”
“The leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday (…) without being able to prove any crime and based on an old fairy tale and completely denied (by many other prosecutors),” Trump added in his message.
The Manhattan investigation to which you refer – which lasted almost 5 years – focuses on a alleged payment of $130,000 to Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence during his 2016 White House election campaign. The secret payment was supposedly intended to prevent him from going public with an alleged sexual relationship with the then-presidential candidate.
The prosecutor’s office, according to the media, appears to be focused on the falsification of the Trump Organization’s business records because of how the reimbursement of that payment to Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, who said he advanced the money to the woman, was included.
Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor in New York, explains CNN, while Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, has remained silent so far.
That same channel detailed this Saturday that The former president is expected to appear in Manhattan after the indictments. Likewise, Trump’s intention would be to give a speech afterwards, something that his advisers advised him against.
Donald Trump did not receive any notification
Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said Saturday that The former president has not yet received any official notification from the prosecutionwhile Susan Necheles, one of his lawyers, confirmed that his words about an arrest are based on press reports that have appeared in recent days.
According to US media, New York authorities and law enforcement prepare to ensure courtroom security in case the tycoon is indictedsomething that they believe could happen next week.
This case would mark the first indictment for the former president and could upend the race for the White House in 2024, in which Trump remains one of the leading Republican contenders.
