AP 18 Mar 2023
NEW YORK (AP) — 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 said in a post on his Truth Social network early 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.”
Messages left Saturday with the district attorney’s office were not immediately returned. Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
Trump did not provide any details on social media about how he knew about the expected arrest. In his postings, he repeated his lies that the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden was stolen and he urged his followers to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” That language evoked the message from the then-president that preceded the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Law enforcement officials in New York have been making security preparations for the possibility that Trump could be indicted.

Wow. Can’t help but feel this is a preemptive move to distract attention away from the Biden crime family. The so-called MSN will be breathless.

Michael Cohen: 'America Wants to See' Trump Held Accountable with Any Indictment
Pam Key
Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he believed “America wants to see” former President Donald Trump indicted regardless of the crime.
While discussing prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office convening a grand jury as part of a criminal probe into a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels that Trump allegedly authorized, anchor Chris Hayes asked, “Given what has come out about what was happening in the Department of Justice behind the curtains at the time, give the fact that you went and pleaded to and did some time for this particular crime, what do you think about the fact that the charges may finally happen and be happening from the district attorney’s office and not from the Department of Justice?
Cohen said, “It doesn’t make a difference to me whether or not he is charged by the DOJ, the Southern District of New York, or the District Attorney of New York at the end of the day, it’s really all about accountability. That’s what I think America wants to see because Donald has managed to escape accountability his entire life, and the rest of us that have been around him all seem to be the ones who get thrown under the bus.”

Trump attorney says ‘there won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago’ if he’s indicted in NY
by Jared Gans - 03/17/23 5:32 PM ET
An attorney for Donald Trump says the former president would not refuse to surrender to authorities if he is indicted in the Manhattan district attorney’s probe into a hush-money deal from his 2016 presidential run.
“There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Joe Tacopina told The New York Daily News.
Tacopina said Trump, whom he described as a survivor, would find a way to use any charges filed against him to help him politically in the end.
“Most people would collapse under the weight of this,” he said. “He seems to turn everything into a positive and everything into a boost for his campaign, so I’m sure this will just join that long list of things that people think no one could overcome, but he will.”
