It's being reported that Donald Trump wants his potential arrest to be a public "spectacle" and to include handcuffs.
The New York Times says the former US President is increasingly insisting that muted proceedings would "make him look weak or like a loser."
He said he expected to be arrested yesterday as a grand jury investigates his involvement in hush money paid to former pornstar Stormy Daniels.
The panel is expected to hear from at least one more witness before it votes on whether to indict him.
