Trump reportedly rejected the approach proposed by the Secret Service to appear before the court in a remote location and turn himself in under the radar. He said he didn't care if someone shot him because then he would become 'a martyr' & win in 2024.
Former President Donald Trump is already preparing for a"spectacle" should he be indicted by a Manhattan grand jury looking at a hush money payment his lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels in 2016, ignoring advice to make it a quiet affair.
Amid the threat of an indictment, support for Trump to take back the White House in 2024 has grown. A Morning Consult poll shows Trump leading Gov. Ron DeSantis 54% to 26%, a 28 percentage point advantage. Polls have gone back and forth, showing DeSantis leading over Trump or vice versa, but the news of an indictment of the former president boosted support for Trump.
It is unclear when or if Trump will be indicted, with multiple reports indicating it could be as early as Wednesday. In a Truth Social post over the weekend, he said he expected to be arrested on Tuesday and called for people to"protest" and"take our nation back." His comments prompted law enforcement officials in New York and Washington, D.C., among other cities, to begin to prepare for possible unrest or violence similar to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol.
