Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday. A prosecutor answers whether Trump could actually be placed in jail.
Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday as part of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office probe into hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
If Trump’s prediction is accurate, it would mark the first time a former president has been indicted. Given that federal law requires former presidents to be protected by the Secret Service at all times, there are many questions about what the process would be like to arrest a former president. “The district attorney's office will be working with the Secret Service to get Trump to surrender to authorities,” Aronberg said. “The Secret Service is not going allow local law enforcement to put their hands on the former president. So what they'll do is Trump would conceivably surrender to New York, go up to New York with Secret Service, and then get processed up there, get fingerprinted, get his mug shot, and then get released without any cash bail.
