In a statement on Saturday, Trump indicated that the Manhattan DA’s office will arrest him on Tuesday of next week, calling on his supporters to “protest” And “take our nation back.”

Trump’s company is under investigation by Manhattan DA’s over the $130,000 reimbursement it gave to Michael Cohen for a payment he allegedly made Stormy Daniels.

Former president has repeatedly denounced the probe as partisan. “witch hunt,” Trump doubled down on his rhetoric during Saturday’s Truth Social speech.

Trump has branded the probe “corrupt & highly political,” Insistence that no crime has ever been proved, and that an indictment would be filed in the case. “based on an old & fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairy tale.”

Attempts to reach out for comment on the impending indictment were unsuccessful as the Manhattan DA’s office was not immediately available outside of normal working hours.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a strong ally of Trump (R-Ga.), shared Musk’s sentiments in a long statement on Saturday. She said that the former president was a “true friend”. “will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win” If he is indicted by Manhattan’s DA Office.

Trump could win more if the Manhattan DA charges him.

And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and… https://t.co/cryRR02xat

“President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him,” Greene wrote. “And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves.”

“Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way,” She continued. “And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America.”

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who was well-known among Republicans because he voted to impeach Trump in 2016, reacted on Greene’s statement.

“You break the law, you go to jail. Whomp whomp marj,” Kinzinger spoke on Twitter.

A ‘Sham’ That ‘Will Backfire’

Trump’s possible indictment stems allegedly from Daniels’ misclassification of a $130,000 Hush Payment. This payment was made to Daniels to not disclose an affair between them, which Trump denies. In the case, a grand jury was appointed and it is expected that an indictment will be filed.

Trump could be indicted on criminal charges. This would be the first indictment against a former president. It would also add to Trump’s legal challenges as he attempts to win the Republican nomination for the 2024 election.

While a lot of Republicans believe that the indictment was a plot against Trump’s 2024 election hopes, a spokesperson for Trump said that he believes the probe will only help his chances. “a sham.”

Like Musk and Greene Steven Cheung believes that a Trump indictment will backfire. In a statement to Fox News on Friday, the spokesman stated that Trump is indicted. “completely innocent” The probe is politically motivated to hinder his bid for reelection in 2020.

“Democrats are at it again, pushing the ‘Nuclear Button’ and attacking a President because of a disgraced extortionist,” Cheung said. “This is happening because President Trump is leading in the polls by a large margin against both Democrats and Republicans, and there’s never been anything so blatant in American political history.”

“Everyone knows it’s a sham,” Cheung continued. “Americans will not tolerate Radical Left Democrats turning our justice system into an injustice system to influence a presidential election, which is all they want to do. Our Country is not going to let this happen. This will backfire massively for the Democrat Party, and end in disgrace for our Nation.”

Indictment would require Trump to set a time and date for his surrender. Trump would then be handed by his Secret Service detail to Manhattan DA’s office to have fingerprints and mugshots taken. Normal procedures indicate that Trump would be arraigned before a judge in cases where a defendant has surrendered.
