Former President Donald Trump released an early-morning video Tuesday bashing the “disgusting witch hunt” against him, as a Manhattan grand jury is expected to vote this week on an indictment. Trump addressed his supporters directly on Truth Social, torching porn star Stormy Daniels and describing the investigation as an extortion plot.
“These four horrible radical left Democrat investigations of your all-time favorite president, me, is just a continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history of our country,” Trump said.
“It’s gone on forever, with Russia, Russia, Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, and the Mueller hoax. It’s an absolute disgrace what’s going on. They even spied on my campaign, and remember this, with all of the work that they did on Mueller – no collusion. That’s what the answer was. It was all ‘no collusion.'”
Trump posted the video just days after claiming he would be arrested on Tuesday, according to “illegal leaks” he had received. According to “a law enforcement source” cited in a Monday Fox News report, he is expected to be charged next week.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has been investigating Trump over a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump has adamantly denied having an affair with Daniels and referred to the investigations as “sick.”
“Whether it’s the Mar-a-Lago raid, or the unselect committee hoax, the perfect Georgia phone call – it was absolutely perfect – or the Stormy ‘Horse Face’ Daniels extortion plot, they are all sick.”
“And it’s fake news,” he added. “Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them.”
“And they know it, very strongly. And they are looking at the polls where – not me, but we – are up by so much. They can’t even believe it. We won twice, and now we have got to win a third time. They know that we can defeat them. They know that we will defeat them. But they are not coming after me, they are coming after you.”
Trump wrapped up his address by telling his supporters,
“I’m just standing in their way. And I always will stand in their way. Thank you very much.”
Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly gave the Manhattan grand jury key testimony during the investigation. Cohen, who pled guilty to federal finance charges in 2018, allegedly paid Daniels $130,000 on behalf of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.

After posting the video, Trump shredded Cohen on his Truth Social account,
“In the history of our Country there cannot have been a more damaged or less credible witness at trial than fully disbarred lawyer and felon, Michael Cohen… deception & lying is what he is doing here!”
Trump continued in a separate post, saying that his former lawyer was a “Fake Storyteller” and alleging that he had begged for a presidential pardon,
“Remember, Michael Cohen was a lawyer who also represented clients other than me… I had nothing to do with his outside businesses. On three separate occasions, Cohen asked me to grant him a Presidential Pardon on events having to do with these outside interests. I said, correctly, “NO.” Sometime after that he became a Fake Storyteller, and began to lie about events!”
