Former US President Donald Trump

Donald Trump - American businessman and politician Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946 in New York announced on his social network that he expects to be arrested next Tuesday and called for protests.

Without presenting evidence, Trump claimed based on "leaked information" from the Manhattan district attorney's office that he would be arrested on Tuesday, but did not give details of what the charges would be, BNR reported.

Earlier this year, the office of the prosecutor in question, Alvin Bragg, began presenting evidence to a grand jury investigating a $130,000 payment made by Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, to porn star Stormy Daniels in the final days of Trump's 2016 campaign, Daniels claimed she had an affair with Trump ten years ago, a claim Trump denies.

Failure to report the payment correctly may result in a misdemeanor charge of falsifying commercial records.

That charge, however, could be raised to a felony if the false accounting was intended to cover up a second crime, such as a violation of campaign finance rules, the New York Times reported. 

In his post, the former American head of state calls on his supporters to protest and, I quote, "take back our country."

If prosecutors decide to bring criminal charges against the 76-year-old Trump, it would be the first such case in American history, and it would also be a stumbling block for Trump to receive the Republican Party's nomination for next year's presidential election.
