Former U.S. President Donald Trump “created a false expectation of his arrest in order to avoid it,” the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said. Earlier, the politician announced the department’s plans to take him into custody.
Prosecutors say Donald Trump’s actions “forced congressional Republicans to intervene in the investigation of the former president’s case.” In a letter sent to three members of Congress, the Manhattan District Attorney points out that the ex-president created “false hype” with his statement.
Your letter is an unprecedented investigation into an ongoing local lawsuit. The letter only came after Donald Trump created the false expectation that he would be arrested the next day, and his lawyers allegedly urged you to intervene.
CNN has previously reported that Republican congressmen are using lobbying power to defend Trump against indictment. To date, the politician remains in the pool of candidates for the political association in the upcoming presidential elections.
Donald Trump himself has already called for an end to the prosecution for the payment of money to porn actress Stormy Daniels. The former head of the White House showed a document which confirms that his lawyer had previously “paid” for the girl’s silence on his own initiative.
