.SpeakerMcCarthy has vowed to open an investigation into the ManhattanDA’s office after it was reported a grand jury was preparing to indict former President Trump sometime next week. “Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power,' McCarthy tweeted.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is reportedly preparing to indict Trump on several charges related to an investigation into hush-money payments the then-presidential candidate made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. It’s not clear when such charges would be pressed, but prosecutors have indicated an indictment is imminent.
The speaker’s statement comes just hours after Trump posted on his Truth Social account that he expects to be arrested on “Tuesday of next week” and urged his supporters to protest and “take our nation back.” A spokesperson for the former president clarified his post in a later statement, noting Trump does not have any direct knowledge of the timing of a possible arrest.
Reports of a looming indictment emerged after former Trump attorney Michael Cohen testified before the Manhattan grand jury multiple times last week, and Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, met with prosecutors on Wednesday.
