The Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham, A prominent member of the Republican Party and member of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, has warned on Tuesday that a possible arrest of former President Donald Trump "would blow up the country".
In statements to Fox News, Graham has asserted that the New York district attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, is under political pressure to charge the former president for allegedly bribing the porn actress Stormy Daniels.
In addition, as Graham has denounced, the prosecutor is "backed up" by the Hungarian-born American financial magnate George Soros, as he financed and supported the election of Bragg as district attorney in 2021, collects the portal The Hill.
Graham, who ran in the 2016 election in which Trump won — although he withdrew during the early stages of the presidential race — His position on the tycoon has changed in recent years, becoming one of his main defenders.
The Manhattan Prosecutor’s Office offered Trump to testify in the framework of a case of alleged bribery of the aforementioned actress to buy her silence about an extramarital relationship, which materializes the idea that criminal charges are imposed against her.
The former president warned over the weekend that will be arrested this Tuesday within the framework of said investigation, citing a "illegal leak", without going so far as to give details about its origin. In addition, he urged his supporters to mobilize before this possible announcement.
