Former United States President Donald Trump has declared that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday, as the New York prosecutor is looking into charges related to the hush money paid to women who claimed to have had sexual encounters with the ex-president.
Trump did not present any evidence that he was directly aware of an impending arrest and did not explain how he had knowledge of such plans.
In a statement on his Truth Social network, Trump stated that "illegal leaks" from the Manhattan district attorney's office suggested that "the leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week".

Danielle Filson from the district attorney's office declared that prosecutors "will decline to confirm or comment" with regards to questions in relation to Trump's post, as well as any potential charges. A representative from Trump's team did not immediately reply to requests for comments.
The indictment of Trump, 76, would be a remarkable event after years of investigations into his business, political and personal matters. It is likely to both encourage his critics, who believe that Trump lied and cheated his way to the top, and encourage his supporters, who feel the Republican is being unfairly targeted by a Democratic prosecutor.
In his social media post, he reiterated 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!"
This language reminded people of the message from the then-president prior to the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Law enforcement personnel in New York have been getting ready for the possibility that Trump may be indicted.
