Former US President Donald Trump may soon go behind bars. He himself claimed this on his social media platform Truth Social. Trump said he expected to be arrested Tuesday in a case brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and called on his supporters to protest his arrest.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office declined to comment on the matter. Donald Trump said the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is going to charge him in the hush money case. However, Trump has not shown any evidence related to this and he has not said what the charges will be.
The case concerns porn star Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, who says she had an affair with Trump a decade ago. However, Trump has denied the affair. Trump was the President of the US from 2017 to 2021 and has said that he will seek to return to the White House in the 2024 US presidential election.
this is the whole matter
Documents last year revealed that Trump and his former top aide Hope Hicks were directly involved in paying porn star Stormy Daniels a hefty sum to keep her mouth shut during the 2016 presidential campaign. After this, Trump’s former lawyer in this case, Michael Cohen, confessed his crime in August last year, saying that he had paid Stormy at the behest of Trump. But then it was not clear whether Trump had a direct role in it or not.
According to the documents, in October 2016, Stormi was paid $1.30 lakh. Cohen spoke to Trump twice over the phone before giving Stormy the money. Stormy has previously claimed that she had an intimate relationship with Trump in 2006.
