Former US President Donald Trump may be arrested in the coming days. Trump will be prosecuted in the porn star case. The lawsuit will run in the matter of payment to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 US presidential election.

Information about the charges that Trump will face in this case has not been given at the moment. The way to prosecute Trump has become possible after the voting of the jury. 76-year-old Trump has been dismissing the allegations against him in this case. Trump is the first US President against whom a criminal case will be filed.

Trump lives in Florida and it is believed that he can come to the court for the first hearing in the court. According to Trump’s defense team, the former US President may surrender next week. America’s Secret Service has got the responsibility of protecting Trump in the court.

In January 2018, the American newspaper Wall Street Journal published an article. It claimed that President Trump’s then-counsel Michael Cohen paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in October 2016, a month before the US presidential election.

According to the Journal, this money was given under the agreement according to which she did not have to make public about her affair with Trump. Legally this payment was not illegal. But when Trump paid Cohen, he recorded it as legal fees.

According to New York administration lawyers, this is a case of Trump tampering with his documents, which is a criminal act in New York. Public prosecutors can also accuse Trump of violating election rules in this case. Because an attempt was made by Trump to hide the payment made to Stormy Daniels so that he could hide the relationship between himself and Daniels from the voters.
