The announcement of Donald Trump, 76, that he would be arrested on Tuesday made headlines around the world. The background is an affair about an alleged payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels (44). She claims to have had an affair with Trump in 2016 and received $130,000 from him to keep quiet about it during his 2016 presidential campaign.

A grand jury must decide whether or not to indict the ex-president. According to media reports, a defense witness testified before the jury on Monday. But how likely is it that the former US president’s handcuffs can click? Blick provides you with all questions and answers.

1) Will Trump surrender or resist any charges?

While Trump has called on his supporters to protest a possible arrest and called the indictment a politically motivated “witch hunt,” his lawyers have indicated that the ex-president is likely to surrender if charged. That writes The Independent. Attempts to challenge extradition are unlikely to be successful.

2) How likely is Trump to be arrested?

However, as various American media report, it is quite unlikely that Trump, who wants to retake the White House in 2024, will actually be arrested. However, things could look different if the former president defends himself against the allegations, writes “The Independent”.

According to the New York Times, Trump’s lawyers will attack the credibility of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who paid the porn actress the hush money on Trump’s behalf. Since Cohen has run afoul of the law on a number of occasions, Trump’s lawyers will refer to Cohen’s criminal record – drawing attention to his lack of credibility.

Former US Attorney Andy McCarthy also doesn’t believe Trump’s handcuffs will click. “The idea of ​​police approaching him in Florida or on the street and handcuffing him is not going to happen and couldn’t happen,” McCarthy told Fox News. It’s up to the US Secret Service and the New York Police Department to find a place to surrender.

3) What now?

The decision to press charges rests with New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg (49). The grand jury was set up on his behalf to determine whether there was enough evidence to prosecute Trump. He is the only one who knows if and when charges will be filed, writes “BCC”.

It’s unclear why Trump spoke specifically about Tuesday in connection with the arrest. According to American media, an arrest could also be possible this week on Wednesday or Thursday. As Fox News reports, citing a law enforcement source, Donald Trump is not expected to face charges until next week. The grand jury in Manhattan will hear another witness on Wednesday.

What is certain is that Trump would make history with an indictment. It would be the first of its kind in American history. Even former President Richard Nixon (1913-1994) was not prosecuted after he resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal.
