Donald Trump says he will be arrested on TUESDAY as New York prosecutors move to indict him over hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels
Former President Donald Trump says he will be arrested Tuesday over claims he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair.
It comes more than six years after Trump’s lawyers allegedly paid Daniels to keep quiet about the matter, and New York prosecutors are considering whether he should face charges.
Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan district attorney’s office will arrest him on Tuesday over the allegations.
He called them “corrupt and highly political”, calling the alleged secret money payment an “old fairy tale completely discredited”.
Last week, the former president and 2024 hopeful was invited to testify before a Manhattan grand jury, and his mediator and former attorney Michael Cohen testified Monday.
It comes more than six years after Trump’s lawyers allegedly paid Daniels to keep quiet about the matter, and New York prosecutors are considering whether he should face charges.
He called them “corrupt and highly political”, calling the alleged secret money payment an “old and thoroughly discredited fairy tale”.
If Trump’s claims are true, it would make him the first former president to face criminal charges.
