Former US President Donald Trump on Saturday said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday as prosecutors consider charges over a hush money payment to a porn star, and called on his supporters to protest, reports Reuters.
A spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney's office, which has been investigating a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, declined to comment.
No US president - while in office or afterward - has faced criminal charges. Trump is seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.
He has said he will continue campaigning even if he is charged with a crime.
Trump did not say he had been formally notified of forthcoming charges and provided no evidence of leaks from the district attorney's office.
He did not discuss the possible charges in the post.
A Trump spokesperson said in a statement to reporters that, “There has been no notification," beyond leaks to the media.
