Trump predicted he would be indicted and arrested by a New York grand jury for his alleged role in paying $130,000 of hush money to silence an adult film actress about his past affair with her, USA Today reported. Increased police presence has appeared in multiple cities in anticipation for the possibility of Trump being arrested, according to BBC.

The Facebook post purports to show mugshots from Trump’s arrest. It allegedly shows a side profile and front-facing image of Trump in an orange prison jumpsuit. “Maybe Trump can sell NFTs of his mugshot,” the caption reads.

The image is digitally fabricated. Check Your Fact found no credible news reports of Trump’s arrest at the time of publication. (RELATED: Did Donald Trump Make This Post Stating His Own Indictment Would Be An Indictment Of All?)
