former U.S. President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday (March 21) in a case brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and called on his supporters to protest, according to a post on Truth Social on Saturday
Trump said, without providing evidence, that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicated that he would be arrested. He did not say what the charges would be.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office earlier this year began presenting evidence to a grand jury investigating a $130,000 payment that Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, made to porn star Stormy Daniels in the waning days of Trump’s 2016 campaign.
A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office declined to comment.
