“Protest, recover our nation,” urged the former president without specifying the reason for the announced arrest, the bribery of actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence
Former US President Donald Trump he indicated this Saturday that he thinks he will be arrested on Tuesday as part of your investigation for paying money to porn star Stormy Daniels and invited citizens to protest.
“Protest, recover our nation,” he said on his Truth Social social network, without giving a reason for his arrest.
The former president based his information on “illegal leaks from the DA’s office in Manhattan a corrupt and highly politicized organization that made it possible to set new records in violent crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros.”
Therefore, he added in his message, “the main Republican candidate and former President of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday (…) without any crime being proven and based on an old and completely debunked fairy tale (by many other prosecutors ).
The The Manhattan investigation, which spanned nearly five years, centered on an alleged $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels in exchange for his silence during the 2016 White House campaign.
The secret payment was allegedly intended to prevent him from making public the alleged sexual relationship with the then presidential candidate.
The prosecution, according to media reports, appears to be focused on falsifying the Trump Organization’s business records as it includes reimbursements and payments to Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, who said he advanced the money to the woman.
Forging business documents is a misdemeanor in New York, according to CNN. The same channel pointed out this Saturday that the former president is expected to appear in Manhattan after the formal charges and expressed his intention to give a speech afterwards, which his advisers advised him not to do.
This case would mark the first indictment of a former US president and could turn the 2024 presidential race upside down, in which Trump remains one of the leading Republican competitors.
