Trump’s US Secret Service detail would deliver him to the Manhattan district attorney’s office for fingerprinting and then taking mugshots in offices of the district attorney’s detective squad. While Trump offered no details on why he expects to be indicted, his legal team has been anticipating that it will happen soon and has been preparing behind the scenes for the next steps. The discussions have been about how to navigate the potential indictment for a criminal charge by a New York county grand jury and the choreography around the possibility of an unprecedented arrest of a former president of the United States.

Prosecutors in New York are considering charges over alleged hush money payments to an ex-porn star.

The district attorney's office has not yet commented. On Saturday Mr Trump wrote on his social networking site Truth Social that "illegal leaks" from the Manhattan district attorney's office "indicate" he would be arrested on Tuesday. Former US President Donald Trump says he is expecting to be arrested on Tuesday in a case about alleged hush money paid to an ex-porn star.

If Trump's claims prove true, it would mark the first time in U.S. history that a former president has faced criminal charges, legal experts say. Will he be ...

So we will see a mug shot of a former President of the United States but I do not think we're going to see a perp walk.” Trump’s spokesperson told USA TODAY there has been “no notification” related to the timing of possible criminal charges. “We started with ‘Stand back, standby.’ We then moved to ‘Come to DC on January 6 , it’ll be wild.’ Now we have ‘Come to Manhattan for my arraignment. I don't think there's that kind of personal motivator the way there was on January 6,” Kirschner said. After that invitation came to light, Trump's own lawyer in the case, Joe Tacopina, acknowledged the possibility of a looming indictment. “I relied on counsel in order to resolve this extortion of me.” Previously, Trump denied complicity in a series of public statements. Trump says he’ll still run for president again if he’s indicted in any of the several current investigations into his conduct. Daniels’ lawyer, Clark Brewster, told USA TODAY he could not comment on what he and Daniels discussed with prosecutors. Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, spent two days last week testifying before the grand jury against his former boss. If Trump's claims prove true, it would mark the first time in U.S. Is Donald Trump likely to be arrested soon?

Former President Donald Trump says his indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney for alleged hush money payments is imminent, claiming on Saturday that ...

“If this case is still ongoing, during his run for president, you could face a very unprecedented and challenging situation,” Mariotti says. If indicted, Trump would have to go through the same process, where he would be booked into jail, finger-printed, and a “mug shot” taken. “It’d be very hard to find jurors who haven’t been exposed to the news.” Although rarely used, one method to combat this is for a judge to sequester jurors, limiting their exposure to outside influence or information. “Sometimes we see a huge flood of cameras and reporters at the front of the courthouse,” he says. “You would make an appointment basically, to bring your client in to be booked and fingerprinted,” Wu says. “There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Joe Tacopina told “Most defendants, even if they’re famous, are often not known by prospective jurors or they don’t have a certain opinion about that person. I think it’s safe to say that Donald Trump is different.” Wu doesn’t anticipate many unusual logistics in the procedures if Trump is indicted, but believes that security would be heightened—similar to measures for other high-profile political figures or celebrities. The hush-money deal, allegedly crafted weeks before his presidential win, could also put Trump in jeopardy of violating campaign finance laws. Trump was invited to testify before a grand jury in early March. The offer to testify, which Trump declined, is required before any indictment.

Trump attorney Susan Necheles told CBS News that this is speculation from the former president.

I think many Americans are taken aback at the unprecedented indictment of a former president, but also the fact that the Manhattan D.A., in the midst of a crime wave in New York City, then says that indicting the former president is his highest priority. "We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York," Bragg wrote. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg addressed the security issue in an email to employees Saturday, telling them that "your safety is our top priority." "President Trump is rightfully highlighting his innocence and the weaponization of our injustice system. and the DA's office, to NBC and other fake news carriers, that the George Soros-funded Radical Left Democrat prosecutor in Manhattan has decided to take his Witch-Hunt to the next level," the Trump spokesperson said Saturday.

"He needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds." Trump in 2018 initially disputed knowing anything about the payment to Daniels. Trump, who was in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday and attended the NCAA wrestling championships, leads his early rivals for his party's nomination. Bragg's office last year won the conviction of the Trump Organization on tax fraud charges. "He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence." Bragg's office earlier this month invited Trump to testify before the grand jury probing the payment, which legal experts said was a sign that an indictment was close. We will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly and speak publicly only when appropriate." A spokesman for Trump said the former president had not been notified of any arrest. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal campaign finance violations tied to his arranging payments to Daniels and another woman in exchange for their silence about affairs they said they'd had with Trump, among other crimes. Trump has said he will continue campaigning even if he is charged with a crime. 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 Truth Social.

Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, another declared candidate, did not address the investigation while campaigning in South Carolina. Trump’s post cited “illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office”. McCarthy said he would direct relevant Republican-led House committees “to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions”. The search also proved a fundraising boon.

During an exclusive sit-down interview, Pence said he's "taken aback" at the prospect of a possible indictment and arrest of former President Donald Trump.

He's said that he and his family hope to come to a decision by the spring. That the violence that occurred on January 6, the violence that occurred in cities throughout this country in the summer of 2020 was a disgrace. President Trump is rightfully highlighting his innocence and the weaponization of our injustice system." "The frustration the American people feel about what they sense is a two tier justice system in this country, I think -- I think is well founded but -- I -- and -- I believe that people understand that if they give voice to this, if this occurs on Tuesday, that they need to do so peacefully and in a lawful manner. "It just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. The American people won't tolerate it and those that engage in that kind of violence should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Pence.

"Here we go again. Another politically charged prosecution against" former president Donald Trump, Mike Pence said Saturday.

“We respect the right of Americans to let their voice be heard and to express the frustration over what appears to be a politically motivated prosecution of the former president," he said.

Another politically charged prosecution against the former president of the United States," Pence told reporters after a foreign policy forum in Des Moines on Saturday.

You have literally a Democratic party that’s literally dismantled the criminal justice system in that city, undercut the NYPD, and this is what the Manhattan DA says is their top priority?,” referring to Alvin Bragg.

Bragg's office appears poised to bring criminal charges against Trump in connection with a hush-money payment made to a porn actress, Stormy Daniels.

Bragg’s office appears poised to bring criminal charges against Trump in connection with a hush-money payment made to a porn actress, Stormy Daniels, at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign.

Alvin Bragg is expected to bring an indictment against Trump this week over hush payments to adult actor Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Trump received a standing ovation in Tulsa and held up a defiant fist as he arrived at the wrestling event while fans cheered.

South Carolina Senator [Lindsey Graham](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/lindsey-graham) on Saturday said Bragg has "done more to help Donald Trump get elected president than any single person in America." "If I were his defense attorney, I would cringe at the thought of my client posting such a [Truth Social post] that implies violence, given what happened on January 6," he added.
