Donald Trump himself announced over the weekend that he expected an arrest on Tuesday - and called on his supporters to "protest."

DLNews Crime:

The ex-president announced over the weekend that he expected an arrest on Tuesday. One thing is clear: the New York prosecutor could charge the 76-year-old anytime! It's about a hush payment of $ 130,000 to an alleged former sex partner, ex-porn star Stormy Daniels (44). The money flowed in 2016. According to the thrust of the possible indictment, the transfer is said to have been hidden in the company books. If convicted, Trump could face a prison sentence.

Trump had called on his supporters to "protest" over the weekend - and thus mobilized supporters of his "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement.

In two places, in particular, there is an alarm condition.

After the possible indictment by prosecutor Alvin Bragg (49), Trump would be asked to present himself in New York City. Protests are expected at the Supreme Court in Lower Manhattan and the New York City Police Department (NYPD) headquarters nearby. On Friday, Trump supporters had already pulled up before Trump Tower to show the flag. More rallies are expected in the coming days.

According to a report by the portal "The Daily Beast," the use of the 700-strong elite unit "Strategic Response Group," which is specially trained for "disaster control" operations, is being considered.

Another focal point is Trump's residence, the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach (Florida): Demos are also expected there! There have been calls for a "wall of patriots" to surround the facility to protect their idol from capture. Some MAGA fans even demanded using the National Guard: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (44) - Trump's most significant rival within the party - should mobilize them to protect the ex-president. However, Trump's lawyer has already announced that his client wants to voluntarily present himself to the New York authorities - a showdown in Palm Beach is not expected.

It is feared that the atmosphere could heat up as severely as before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump had called on "Truth Social" in one of his calls for protesters to "take back their country."

January 6, 2021: Trump supporters storm the Capitol.

Pence: America would 'no longer tolerate January 6^th.'

Many Republicans are therefore urging Trump not to pour fuel on the fire with his rhetoric. And his supporters were encouraged to remain "friendly" when protesting. However, ex-Vice Vice President Mike Pence (63) said: that America would "no longer tolerate a second January 6".

Pence also criticized that the possible charges in the "Stormy" affair would be "politically motivated." The head of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy (58), spoke of an "abuse of power" by the "radical" New York prosecutors: At the center of the anger is prosecutor Bragg, who is accused of having wrong priorities: instead of fighting crime in the Big Apple, which waves of violence have recently hit, heaviness the Democrat would instead take "political revenge on Trump," McCarthy said. Bragg countered: The judiciary would not be irritated by "attempts at intimidation."

Some legal experts already believe that Trump could score his own goal by calling for protests: Because the court could refuse bail out of concern that he could organize a revolt. Without bail, Trump would have to be in custody.

The most likely scenario is that Trump voluntarily turns himself into the New York authorities. His fingerprints and a saliva swab take DNA samples for the police database. There will also be a "Mugshot," a sticky photo. But Trump is not expected to be escorted past the press in handcuffs.

This week, there could be historical events: Never before has a US President been criminally charged after leaving the White House.

So Trump could make history, albeit a less glorious one.
