Former President Donald Trump on Saturday launched an ALL CAPS attack on what he calls “radical left anarchist” and “corrupt” Manhattan District Attorney while calling on his followers to “protest” law enforcement and “take out nation back” as he expects to be arrested no later than Tuesday in connection with the investigation into a hush-money scheme involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
In a post on his social media site, Trump, referring to himself, said the “leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.”
“Protest, take our nation back,” he wrote.
In the same post, Trump insisted that no crime has been proven and claimed the Manhattan DA’s office is funded by George Soros.
Trump offered no details on why he expects to be indicted. But his legal team has been anticipating that it will happen soon and has been preparing behind the scenes for the next steps.
Trump’s meltdown comes as New York and Florida law enforcement agencies prepare for possible indictment.
The former president is expected to present himself in Manhattan following the formal charges and has expressed interest in making a speech after, though whether he ultimately does remains to be seen.
Trump’s call for a protest in response to a potential arrest echoes his final days in office when he repeatedly urged his supporters to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election, culminating in the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
