Barricades next to Trump Tower, police on high alert, some protesters and hordes of journalists in front of the Manhattan prosecutor’s office. New York is looking forward to the likely indictment of Donald Trump on Tuesday, although it is not certain of the day a decision will be made.

The former president assured on Saturday that he would be “arrested” on Tuesday as a result of paying a pornographic actress to keep quiet, but his defense team assured that the allegations were based on press information and not prosecution evidence.

The grand jury that decides whether there is a crime could vote on Wednesday, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, may wait until next week to announce the charges, according to US media reports.

Bragg, the elected official, has not publicly confirmed any plans, and the grand jury is working in secret to avoid perjury or witness tampering, making it nearly impossible to know what’s going on.

In recent weeks, the Ministry of the Public presented witnesses before the jury and invited Donald Trump give evidence, which may indicate that he will soon be charged.

If indicted, the 76-year-old Republican will become the first ex-president to sit in the dock, in what his supporters interpret as an attempt by Democrats to prevent him from running for re-election in 2024.

To prepare for the possible arrest of the billionaire, who will have to undergo a fingerprinting ritual and even be handcuffed, the New York City Police Department has put up metal fences in front of the Manhattan courthouse and the Tower of London. Trumpon V Avenida de Nueva, waiting for the mass arrival of followers.

Trump Supporters

According to a message sent by his campaign team, in which, in addition to asking for donations ranging from $24 to $250, although his supporters may also contribute other amounts, “the President Trump knows that the real vindication will come on November 5, 2024, when we the people take back the White House and make America great again.”

NBC News reported that all NYPD officers have been ordered to wear uniforms and prepare to deploy starting Tuesday.

“While you will see a heightened police presence in all five boroughs, there are currently no real threats to New York City,” a police spokesman said in a statement.

Donald Trump Over the weekend, he called for massive protests if he is indicted, though so far only a handful of the billionaire’s supporters have turned up in New York.

This Tuesday, a handful of protesters gathered in front of the court.

“Witch-hunt”

Leading figures, including his children, did not call for street protests, as they did after the 2020 election, when President Joe Biden won Donald Trump at the elections.

On Monday evening, protests organized by the New York Republican Youth Club attracted two dozen supporters.

Bragg’s investigation focuses on paying $130,000 in the last round of the 2016 election to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels to silence alleged extramarital affairs she would have had with the mogul ten years earlier, which he has always denied.

Former lawyer, now enemy Donald trump, Michael Cohen, who testified before the grand jury, said he made the payment and the money was later returned to him.

If the payment to Daniels is not properly documented, it could be considered misrepresentation, which could lead to a violation of the election finance law, which is a felony punishable by four years in prison.

Lawyers say that it will not be easy to prove this crime.

However, if charges are filed, a possible trial could take several months.

Donald Trump feels like a victim of a witch hunt.

“Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that only we can stop them,” he said. Donald Trump in a video posted on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.

The tycoon is the target of several state and federal criminal investigations that could jeopardize his new run for the White House, including his attempts to right his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
