"Trump predicts arrest as Manhattan DA prepares charges in Stormy Daniels case"

Former US President Donald Trump is bracing for criminal charges over his role in paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The Manhattan district attorney is expected to bring charges against him, and Trump has posted on his Truth Social platform that he expects to be "ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK". Trump's legal team is expected to argue that a hush money case centered on campaign finance violations could be weak after a similar prosecution against Democratic senator John Edwards failed in 2012.
