Former President Donald Trump said he will be arrested in New York on Tuesday, calling for his supporters to 'protest' ahead of the potential indictment.
Speculation that New York prosecutors are preparing to indict Trump grew this week after Bragg's office offered the former president the opportunity to testify before the grand jury in the case, which is typically seen as a final step in an investigation. Trump, however, declined to testify.
Meanwhile, WNBC reported on Friday that local officials have begun security preparations ahead of the anticipated indictment. Legal experts have warned about the possibility of violence should Trump be indicted. Former federal prosecutor"This will be the most politically charged prosecution in American history," Rahmani said."Things like security and how to handle it—you don't do something like this unless you plan to go all the way to Trump.
Trump has not yet been charged with a crime and has denied any wrongdoing. Trump attorney Joseph Tacopina previously said there is no legal basis for the case, telling the Associated Press,"To me, it's much ado about nothing. It's just another example of them weaponizing the justice system against him. And it's sort of unfair."
