NYPD Scrambles to Deploy Barricades in Preparation of a Possible Indictment of Trump


Monday, workers unloaded steel barriers from vehicles of the New York Police Department in front of the Manhattan Criminal Courts. Men were observed erecting them in anticipation of a potential indictment of former President Donald Trump, who asked his followers to go to the streets if he is detained. Three persons engaged in the proceedings told Politico that an indictment from a grand jury, which is presently reviewing Trump’s alleged role in paying $130,000 to purchase the silence of a porn star, is anticipated to be handed down late Monday or Wednesday. One insider stated, “We will discuss how to bring in Trump, but no decisions have been taken yet.” According to the New York Daily News, Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell were scheduled to brief members of the police department, the U.S. Secret Service, court officers, and the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on the security measures being taken in the city on Monday afternoon.
