Will Trump Get Arrested?

With word from former President Donald Trump that he will "be arrested" on a criminal indictment engineered by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over alleged hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign. But that’s about all that has come to light, as the relevant authorities are being quite closemouthed about this whole thing. Insider says that “a source with knowledge of the investigation” told them on Saturday night “there is one more witness.” The indictment is apparently not a certainty until this witness testifies. A state court’s aggressive reinterpretation of a more-than-century-old law puts businesses on the hook for potentially billions of dollars in unexpected costs. New York law has long carved out an exception: “A manual worker shall be paid weekly.” The weekly pay provision goes back to 1890, when the Legislature held that “every manufacturing, mining or quarrying, lumbering, mercantile … corporation … shall pay weekly.” The court found that employees could recoup as “damages” a dollar value equal to 100% of the wages paid late.
