Former President Donald Trump said Saturday he expects to be arrested in connection with the investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney next week and called for protests as New York law enforcement prepares for a possible indictment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In a social media post on Saturday, Trump, referring to himself, said the \u201cleading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProtest, take our nation back,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

CNN\u2019s John Miller reported that meetings have been going on throughout the week between city, state and federal law enforcement agencies in New York City about how to prepare for a possible indictment of Trump.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While Trump offered no details on why he expects to be indicted, his legal team has been anticipating that it will happen soon and has been preparing behind the scenes for the next steps. The former president is expected to present himself in Manhattan following the formal charges and has expressed interest in making a speech after, though whether he ultimately does remains to be see<\/p>\n

The Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s office, New York Police Department, and representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to CNN\u2019s request for comment Saturday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Trump has complained privately that he believes he is only going to being indicted because he thinks Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg \u201chates him,\u201d according to a source familiar with what Trump has said.<\/p>\n

His call for a protest in response to a potential arrest echoes his final days in office when he repeatedly urged his supporters to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election, culminating in the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Some of Trump\u2019s advisers had urged him privately not to call for protests, concerned about the optics of a mass protest in the streets of Manhattan growing out of control or resembling the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The discussions have been about how to navigate the potential indictment for a criminal charge by a New York county grand jury and the choreography around the possibility of an unprecedented arrest of a former president of the United States.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s US Secret Service detail would deliver him to the Manhattan district attorney\u2019s office for fingerprinting and then taking mugshots in offices of the district attorney\u2019s detective squad. As is customary in cases where a defendant is allowed to voluntarily surrender, after arrest processing, the former president would be brought directly to an arraignment before a judge where he would likely be released on his own recognizance.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement officials who are privy to the discussions said several concerns have been discussed in the planning process, including courthouse security and the potential for demonstrations or rallies outside of the courthouse by Trump supporters or counter demonstrations by anti-Trump protesters, with the risk of the two groups clashing.<\/p>\n
