Former President Donald Trump is "ready for his perp walk" and appears to be relishing in the idea of a performative spectacle if he is charged in connection to the 2016 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, according to a New York Times report from Michael C. Bender and Maggie Haberman.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's grand jury investigation into Trump's role in wiring hush money payments to Daniels appears to be wrapping up and Trump expects to be indicted imminently. Trump in a tirade on Truth Social over the weekend claimed that he would be arrested Tuesday and called for his supporters to protest, though neither an arrest nor a large protest came to fruition. The looming potential charges, which would mark the first indictment in history of a former president, have raised questions about whether Trump would be perp-walked at the courthouse like many defendants.
