The Manhattan grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump could move forward with an indictment as soon as law enforcement officials have safety measures in place in the event of protesting or violence.
Trump announced on Truth Social over the weekend that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday, decrying "illegal leaks" and a "highly political" prosecutor preparing to take him into custody. After putting “protest, take our nation back" in his message, law enforcement officers in New York and Washington, among others, began to prepare for any chances of unrest akin to what was seen at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
While there has been no confirmation from the prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office that an indictment is coming, they took an important step by hearing testimony from Robert Costello, a lawyer who said he had information regarding the credibility of Michael Cohen, who already testified before the grand jury.
All New York Police Department officers were told to wear full uniforms starting at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, including detectives who usually dress in plainclothes. Hundreds of riot police officers have been mobilized as well.
