Does anyone think Trump can keep an indictment to himself, and not blab about it?

...sealed or not, we'll likely know indictments have been issued a few seconds after Trump does, like we did when the FBI searched his home.

It is going to be a fund raiser and vote getter.

He will make it very public.

I give at least 8 to 5 odds that we’ll hear about it pretty soon after it happens, if he doesn’t blab about it it’ll be the first time in his pathetic life

First, I doubt it will be sealed. Second, if it is, Trump will be incapable of keeping his mouth shut.

...and the press asks the Manhattan DA to confirm whether or not an indictment has actually been issued, is the DA under an obligation to confirm it? Or could they just give "no comment" until the time Trump actually surrenders himself?

I'm just asking because I'm not in the mood to take just Trump's word on the subject, and I'd rather not get strung along for nothing.

I am sure someone is monitoring TFG's plane's location 24/7 and will make a huge story out of it if his plane is heading or went to NY. Of course, he could also go to NY by other means but I found that unlikely.
