The former president of the United States Donald Trump has declared this Saturday convinced that he will be arrested next Tuesday in the framework of the investigation against him for the alleged payment of a bribe to the porn film actress Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels.
“They will arrest me on Tuesday,” Trump assured through his Truth Social social network in a message in which he cited an “illegal leak” without giving details about its origin.
In line with his traditional unfounded conspiracy theories, the former president assures that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that is conducting the investigation against him is financed by the Hungarian investor George Soros, a regular target of criticism from ultranationalist movements such as those defended by Trump during his mandate.

Trump’s former lawyer had met twice this week with prosecutors investigating the payment to Clifford. Although Cohen has not revealed specific details, he was convinced on Friday, in an interview with ABC, that there was plenty of evidence, at least, to charge the former president with a criminal offense; something unprecedented in the country’s history.
