Donald Trump is “deeply anxious” about the possibility of being arrested and fingerprinted, as legal sources say the New York City district attorney still has one more witness to interview, which means his arrest could occur later.
The former president claims he will be arrested Tuesday over claims he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair.
Trump’s first legal encounter occurred in the 1970s and he has reportedly been deeply anxious about the prospect of being arrested ever since, a source told a reporter from The New York Timesincluding Maggie Haberman, who published several scoops on Trump during his presidency.
His concerns grew after his former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, was arrested in 2021 and he was heavily covered by the media as he was escorted to court in handcuffs.
However, prosecutors inside District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office told the Times they did not know why Trump thought his arrest would come as soon as Tuesday. Insiders said there is still one more witness to testify before a grand jury, which could delay his possible arrest.
A source close to Trump’s advisers told the Times that his best guess is Tuesday and that someone must have relayed that to the Republican before he went to Truth Social to make his claims.
This comes more than six years after Trump’s lawyers paid Daniels a total of $130,000 to keep quiet about the matter, and New York prosecutors are considering whether he should face charges. Trump denies the affair and knowledge of the payments.
Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan district attorney’s office will arrest him in a few days, calling the investigation “corrupt and highly political,” calling the alleged hush money payment an “old and old fairy tale.” completely discredited.”
