Former US president Donald Trump has said in a social media post that he will be arrested on Tuesday. His comment comes as a New York prosecutor eyes charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with him.
Mr Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network on Saturday that “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicate that “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”
Mr Trump urged his followers to protest. In a later post that went further, he directed his ire at the Biden administration and raised the prospect of civil unrest: “IT’S TIME!!!” he wrote.
