No special treatment for Trump if indicted - expert

Reuters Videos
Updated

STORY: Trump on Saturday said on the Truth Social site that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday (March 21) as New York prosecutors consider charges over a hush money payment to a porn star, and called on his supporters to protest.

Trump cited “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, but provided no evidence and did not discuss the possible charges in his post.

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danya Perry, said that by all indications, Trump has already been indicted, and that “the indictment is currently under seal.”

If he is, in fact, arrested, Perry said, he will face some, but not all, of the indignities of a normal defendant.
