“Now illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime & whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, & based on an old & fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week,” Trump wrote on on his Truth Social.
Echoing his message to supporters in the wake of the 2020 presidential election and the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Trump wrote, “Protest, take our nation back.”
Trump has been under investigation for years now in the hush money scheme involving adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claimed in 2018 that she had an affair with the former president.
Shortly after sharing the statement, a spokesperson for Trump said that the former president wrote the post without any direct knowledge of the timing of any arrest.
“President Trump is rightfully highlighting his innocence and the weaponization of our injustice system,” Trump‘s spokesperson shared with The New York Times.
New York prosecutors have not made any official announcement about indicting or arresting Trump yet.
Back in December 2022, the January 6th committee announced that they recommend Trump be criminally charged for inciting the insurrection.
