'Stand in their way': Trump tells supporters he's fighting alongside them
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (WPEC) — Former President Donald Trump said he would be arrested Tuesday for alleged hush money he gave to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Supporters have been gathering near Mar-a-Lago with flags for the past two days, playing music dedicated to Trump and waving at cars going by.
I stand behind Trump, my husband stands behind Trump, my family stands behind Trump, Florida’s for Trump!” said 83-year-old Trump supporter Nancy Sparks.
Over the weekend, Trump told his followers on his social media app "Truth Social" that he would be arrested and called on them to protest. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is investigating alleged hush money payments made to Daniels on Trump's behalf prior to the 2016 election.
“I think it’s a scam, I think it's fraudulent. I think the statute of limitations have already put that behind us,” said Derek Arnold, another Trump supporter.
On Monday night, Trump mentioned the infamous Georgia election phone call and called Daniels out by name, adding thatt he’s not going down without a fight.
They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you. I’m just standing in their way, and I always will stand in their way,” said Trump.
As for Trump and his possible arrest, a Manhattan grand jury could decide whether to indict him as soon as Wednesday.
