Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social app that he expects to be arrested next week.
“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” he wrote. “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
In another post he wrote:
“WE JUST CAN’T ALLOW THIS ANYMORE. THEY’RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA!PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST!!!”
People are comparing Trump’s call to action to the January 6th messages, where he called on people to travel to Capitol Hill and protest. Trump supporters rioted and five people died.
Trump’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina says he had no idea about an upcoming arrest.
“No one tells us anything, which is very frustrating,” Tacopina told CNBC. “President Trump is basing his response on press reports, and the fact that this is a political prosecution and the DA leaks things to the press instead of communicating to the lawyers as they should.”
