Donald Trump has taken to social media to claim that he will be arrested next week, on Tuesday, over payments he allegedly made to a porn star, Stormy Daniels, for her silence.
He posted on his Truth Social website and said he "will be arrested on Tuesday of next week" and urged his followers to "take our nation back" in response.
It is understood that prosecutors in New York are making security preparations for the possibility that Trump could be indicted in the coming weeks and appear in a Manhattan courtroom in the investigation examining hush money paid to Daniels and other women who alleged sexual encounters with him.
