Donald Trump is bracing for what he believes to be his imminent arrest due to an investigation conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. This past Saturday, Trump made an unprecedented plea to his supporters to protest the ongoing inquiry into alleged hush money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump sees the New York grand jury’s examination as politically motivated and views his adversaries as targeting him.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has been scrutinizing the purported hush money payments since 2018 and has assembled a grand jury to dig deeper into the matter. A media post on Saturday suggested Trump’s conviction that he would soon be apprehended. Trump’s call for protests against the investigation has irked some of his supporters, who see it as an attempt to undermine the American legal and judicial system.
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels has accused Trump of infidelity, claiming she had an affair with him before his presidency. Trump has denied these allegations, with his lawyers vehemently disputing the claims. Nonetheless, Trump hasn’t shied away from sharing his opinions on social media platforms like Twitter. On Tuesday, he encouraged his supporters to stage massive demonstrations in reaction to the “witch hunt” against him. Additionally, he denied any involvement in the 2016 election concerning hush money payments made to former US President Bill Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, and others.
Although there is no official confirmation that Trump expects to be arrested, some news outlets report that the former US president could face serious consequences over payments made by him or his associates. The alleged hush money was paid to keep Daniels quiet about her supposed affair with Trump before he became president. The exact amount of hush money is still unclear, but if verified, it could be considered a violation of campaign finance laws, potentially landing Trump behind bars.
Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has disclosed that prosecutors claim the Trump company was reimbursed for bonuses and other purported expenses from adult film star Stormy Daniels. Federal prosecutors have also pointed to illicit leaks from the attorney’s office as a means to cover up bonuses paid to Trump’s company. This could be seen as a way Trump violated state and federal laws, rendering his actions corrupt. The District Attorney’s office is now investigating the case and contemplating whether or not to prosecute Trump for his actions. If found guilty, Trump could face jail time, which he expects will occur regardless of the investigation’s outcome.
