Former President Donald Trump said Saturday on social media that he expects to be arrested and called on his supporters to protest the move.

“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” Trump said. “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

Trump said the indictment will be over an investigation by a New York grand jury into hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and other women during his Presidential campaign.

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said the arrest would be a “disgrace.”

“Democrats spent the last seven years telling us President Trump is a threat to our democracy, yet they are the ones repeatedly using sham accusations to try and put their chief political rival behind bars,” Moore said on Twitter. “This threat to arrest President Trump is just another example of the government weaponizing against the American people. It is a disgrace to our nation, and we must stand against the radical left politicians abusing our justice system to influence elections.”

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) also reacted to Trump’s statement, calling a potential arrest of Trump a “charade.”

“You can’t unring this bell,” Tuberville said on Twitter. “There are a lot of swampers panicking right now because they know if these Democrats are stupid enough to go through with this charade it will be open season on them next.”
