Trump is ‘deeply anxious’ about the prospect of being arrested and fingerprinted

Donald Trump is ‘deeply anxious’ about the possibility of being arrested and fingerprinted as legal sources claim the New York City district attorney still has one more witness to interview – meaning his arrest could happen later. 

The former president claims he will be arrested on Tuesday over claims he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.

Trump’s first legal encounter happened in the 1970s and he has reportedly been deeply anxious about the prospect of being arrest since, a source told journalists from The New York Times, including Maggie Haberman, who broke several exclusives on Trump during his presidency. 

His worries grew after his former Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg was arrested in 2021 and he was largely covered in the media being escorted to court in handcuffs. 

However, prosecutors inside DA Alvin Bragg’s office told the Times that they didn’t know why Trump thought his arrest would happen as early as Tuesdays. Insiders said there’s still one more witness to testify before a grand jury, which could potentially delay his potential arrest. 

A source close to Trump’s advisors told the Times that that their best guess was Tuesday and someone must have relayed that the Republican before he took to Truth Social to make his claims.  

This comes more than six years after Trump’s lawyers paid Daniels a total of $130,000 to keep quiet about the affair, with New York prosecutors considering if he should face charges. Trump denies the affair and knowledge of the payments.

Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA’s office will arrest him within days and branded the probe ‘corrupt and highly political’, calling the alleged hush money payment an ‘old and fully debunked fairy-tale.’
