Donald Trump says he will be arrested TUESDAY as New York prosecutors plan to indict him for paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels
The former president claimed the Manhattan Attorney’s Office would arrest him on the allegations within days
His lawyers paid Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to keep the affair quiet
Trump would be the first former president to be prosecuted if indicted
Former President Donald Trump claims he will be arrested on Tuesday for allegedly paying porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
It’s been more than six years since Trump’s attorneys allegedly paid Daniels a total of $130,000 to keep quiet about the affair and New York prosecutors are considering whether to charge him.
Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA’s office would arrest him within days and branded the investigation “corrupt and highly political,” calling the alleged hush money payment an “old and fully debunked fairy tale.”
Last week, the former president and 2024 hopeful was invited to testify before a Manhattan grand jury, with his longtime fixer and former attorney Michael Cohen testifying on Monday.
If Trump’s claims are true, he would be the first former president to be prosecuted.

He branded them “corrupt and highly political” and called the alleged hush money payment an “old and completely debunked fairy tale”.
Cohen was serving a prison sentence after pleading guilty to two criminal counts, one of which involved using campaign funds in relation to Daniels and another woman allegedly having an affair with Mr. Trump.
He said he was acting on his orders and the payouts were intended to keep the affair stories from the public eye ahead of the 2016 election.
Daniels met with prosecutors Wednesday to answer additional questions in the case, and her attorney, Clark Brewster, said she will continue to make herself available as a witness if necessary in the future.
