Donald Trump said in a social media post that he expects to be arrested Tuesday as a New York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president. Trump provided no evidence that suggested he was directly informed of a pending arrest and did not say how he knew of such plans.
Danielle Filson of the district attorney's office said prosecutors "will decline to confirm or comment" on questions pertaining to Trump's post, as well as potential charges. A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
Law enforcement officials in New York have been making security preparations for the possibility that Trump could be indicted. The grand jury in Manhattan has been hearing from witnesses, including former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who says he orchestrated payments in 2016 to two women to silence them about sexual encounters they said they had with Trump a decade earlier.
Daniels and at least two former Trump aides -- onetime political adviser Kellyanne Conway and former spokesperson Hope Hicks -- are among witnesses who have met with prosecutors in recent weeks.Cohen has said that at Trump's direction, he arranged payments totalling US $280,000 to porn actor Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. According to Cohen, the payouts were to buy their silence about Trump, who was then in the thick of his first presidential campaign.
