Trump says he expects to be arrested over hush money to porn star

Synopsis

Former U.S. president Donald Trump announces he expects to be arrested on Tuesday in connection with a case brought by a New York prosecutor. In a social media post, Trump calls on his supporters to protest, citing an alleged leak from the Manhattan District Attorney's office. However, he does not specify the charges or provide evidence for his claims. The Manhattan District Attorney has been investigating Trump's involvement in the payment of hush money to a woman who alleged sexual encounters with him. If indicted, Trump would become the first former president of the United States to face criminal charges. This case, often referred to as the Stormy Daniels case, has been developing for seven years. Trump's announcement marks a significant moment, as he prepares to navigate the legal challenges while maintaining his presence on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook.
