According to a Saturday post on Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday in connection with the Manhattan DA case.
The district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump claimed, without providing evidence, that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicated he would be arrested. He did not specify what the charges would be.
“Illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office…indicate that with no crime being able to be proven…the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week,” Trump wrote.
Manhattan DA case
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.
Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, claims to have had an affair with Trump a decade ago. Trump has denied having an affair.
Trump served as Republican President from 2017 to 2021 and has stated that he will run for President again in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
