Former President Donald Trump made a passionate plea for his supporters to "take our nation back" as word of an impending criminal charge from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation hung in the air. With echoes of his Jan. 6, 2021 battle cry to save his presidency, the former president and 2024 GOP hopeful used his Truth Social platform to urge followers to take part in his defense.

While details of a potential arrest remain vague, sources close to the investigation say it could involve something to do with how Trump and his business handled the payment of hush money to Michael Cohen, his former attorney and "fixer" during the 2016 campaign, for a more clandestine matter. Trump's legal team, which includes attorney Joseph Tacopina, admitted the former president would submit himself to a potential indictment, though he might be arrested in Florida due to New York City security issues.
