Trump says he expects to be arrested Tuesday as New York law enforcement prepares for possible indictment

Former President Donald Trump said Saturday he expects to be arrested in connection with the investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney next week and called for protests as New York law enforcement prepares for a possible indictment.
In a social media post on Saturday, Trump, referring to himself, said the leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.
Protest, take our nation back, he wrote.
CNNs John Miller reported that meetings have been going on throughout the week between city, state and federal law enforcement agencies in New York City about how to prepare for a possible indictment of Trump in connection with a yearslong investigation into a hush money scheme involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels .
Any indictment of the former President, who is running for reelection in 2024, would mark a historic first and quickly change the political conversation around an already divisive figure. While Trump has an extensive history of civil litigation both before and after taking office, a criminal charge would represent a dramatic escalation of his legal woes as he works to recapture the White House.

(7,332 posts)NY case against Donald is all about Tax fraud. Stormy Daniels is just a small piece of evidence. His organization has already been found guilty of tax fraud.
Donald is being taken down like Al Capone for tax fraud. Hes guilty as hell. False reporting. It will stick.
