Donald Trump claims on the Internet that they want to arrest him - and already, in three days.

DLNews Politics:

Will he be handcuffed?

In capital letters, Donald Trump (76) has announced his arrest on his " Truth Social" social media platform.

"The House-leading Republican candidate and former President of the United States of America will be arrested next Tuesday. Protest, take back our nation!" Trump urges his followers in a post.

How does he claim to have gotten wind of the matter? Someone allegedly tipped him off. But, of course, Trump dismisses all accusations as "fairy tales," saying nothing can be proven against him.

Donald Trump under pressure

The New York district attorney is investigating Trump for hush money payments to ex-porn actress Stormy Daniels. She had sex with Trump in 2006, according to his statement.

The ex-lawyer of the U.S. president, Michael Cohen (56), explained that four years before Congress, he had paid on Trump's behalf hush money (130 000 U.S. dollars) to Daniels to avert damage from Trump during the election campaign. Trump and his current lawyers admit a payment but deny that Trump had anything with the actress.

This week, Daniels testified against Trump. The jury panel decides in the U.S. after the prosecutor presents evidence on whether to bring charges in a case. U.S. media expect this to happen with Trump in the coming days. He would be the first former US president to be indicted for an alleged crime.
