I doubt that pressure would in the end affect his choice of announcement by any significant degree.
He choice will be informed by his desire to time his announcement to be half a new cycle before his indictment, so he can represent to his base that the subsequent indictment is the reaction to his candidacy and part of continuing “steal” that aims to keep him from his rightful place as the kleptocratic El Presidente for life.
