Mass riots are feared in the United States in connection with the possible arrest of Donald Trump.
Supporters of the former US president, who could be arrested in the case of payments for silence to former porn actress Stormy Daniels, are coming to rallies in support of him.
Such actions have already taken place in front of the Trump Tower in New York, protests are possible near the courthouse. In this regard, the state government plans to deploy units of an elite “Strategic Response Team” of 700 people specially trained in disaster management.
According to The Daily Beast, demonstrations are also expected at Trump’s residence in Florida, from where his fans have already heard calls to surround the villa with a living wall of patriots to protect the ex-president from arrest.
The US authorities fear that these actions could turn into riots, as it was on January 6, 2021 during the storming of the Capitol. Therefore, she urges Trump to contain his ardor, urging supporters of the protests and demonstrators to abide by the rules of the meeting.
Recall that on Tuesday, March 21, former US President Donald Trump announced his own arrest as part of an investigation into financial fraud.
According to him, he received information about the arrest through “illegal sources” from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and called on his supporters to protest.
Background
The case concerns violations of campaign finance rules. According to investigators, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen paid $130,000. pornstar Stormy Daniels, who was about to go public about her affair with a politician. These expenses were reimbursed from Trump’s campaign fund, which prosecutors see as a crime.
According to Daniels, back in 2006, she had a sexual encounter with Trump.
Trump and his supporters accuse the current Biden administration, as well as billionaire George Soros, who is close to the Democrats (according to the Trumpists, once provided money to Prosecutor Bragg), for organizing the criminal prosecution.
The former US president and his lawyers acknowledge the fact of the payment, but deny that Trump had anything to do with the actress.
Daniels testified against Trump this week. The jury decides whether to prosecute in the case. The American media expects this to happen in the coming days. Trump would then become the first former US president to be charged with the alleged crime.
