Manhattan wait for the next step for the DA in the hush money investigation

• Security preparations are being taken in advance by officials in New York and Washington.
• In case a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump sparks large-scale demonstrations.
• The US Capitol Police team “is not currently tracking any direct or credible threats to the US Capitol.”

Security preparations are being taken in advance by officials in New York and Washington in case a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump sparks large-scale demonstrations.

All NYPD officers are anticipated to be in uniform and prepared for deployment on Tuesday in New York City, where a grand jury has been convening as part of the investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged involvement in a conspiracy to pay hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Despite Tuesday being a “high alert day,” law enforcement sources told that there is not currently a serious danger.

The memo was written in reaction to Trump’s social media tweets over the weekend, which echoed his demands for protests in Washington, DC, following his loss in the 2020 election. The protests ultimately became violent when a large group of Trump supporters rushed the Capitol. The US Capitol Police team “is not currently tracking any direct or credible threats to the US Capitol,” according to a department intelligence assessment obtained Monday by the news. Nonetheless, Washington police are also prepared.

If Trump is charged, according to a source close to his legal team, they do not anticipate any arrests or initial court appearances before next week. The Manhattan district attorney’s office had informed them that nothing was anticipated as of Monday night, but it was the only information they had regarding the timeframe of a potential indictment.

Law enforcement officials involved in the conversations have emphasized the necessity to thoroughly prepare for the intricate logistics of a Trump surrender and court appearance because an indictment might happen at any time. A senior law enforcement person aware of the ongoing negotiations concerning security said that federal, state, and local law enforcement gathered on Monday in New York City to discuss the planning.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has hinted that a decision over whether or not to indict the former president is imminent.
