Former President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)InternationalIndiaAfricaBeing updatedThe Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has spent five years investigating alleged payments made by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to an adult film actress to keep her quiet over an alleged affair. Donald Trump has denied making the payments and dismissed the claims, and cited the probe as evidence of the Democrats’ “witch-hunt” against him.Former president Donald Trump expects to be arrested Tuesday amid the Manhattan DA Office’s investigation against him, and encouraged his supporters to protest.”Now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan District Attorneys Office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, and based on an old and fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairy tail, the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!” Trump wrote in an all-caps post on Truth Social on Saturday.The “illegal leaks” referred to by Trump relate to reports that Trump could face a grand jury indictment over the hush money allegedly paid to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.Trump has vocally denied any wrongdoing, saying he never slept with “Horseface Daniels,” and has accused Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg of going after him instead of taking on violent crime in New York City.”Working closely with the Weaponized Justice Department, this is a continuation of the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time. They long ago missed the Statute of Limitations, and I recently won big money against ‘Stormy’ in the 9th Circuit – NEVER HAD AN AFFAIR. This is old news,” Trump wrote in January.Trump attorney Joe Tacopina told US media earlier in the week that his client would not refuse to surrender into custody if indicted. “There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Tacopina said.DA staffers reportedly met with New York Police Department intelligence bureau members on Thursday to discuss potential security concerns in the event of Trump’s indictment, with city police said to be working with a plan together with the Secret Service.The former president has been under investigation by the Manhattan DA since 2018, with the wide-ranging probe focusing on a number of issues, including Trump’s business dealings and the alleged Daniels payoff.Daniels lost a defamation suit against Trump last year, and ordered to pay nearly $300,000 in legal fees. Daniels spoke to prosecutors from the Manhattan DA’s office on Wednesday about the hush money claims.
