The NYPD and US Secret Service are meeting to discuss security measures in the event former President Donald Trump
is indicted by the Manhattan DA’s office this week.

The sources said several agencies will meet again on Monday to discuss security measures that include

Former President Donald Trump told supporters on his “Truth Social” site this weekend that he expected to be indicted on
Tuesday and that they should protest if he is.

Maloney said he “would assume there will be conversations with our intel bureau and stakeholders in the
federal courthouse and the DA’s office.

“We’ll have an advanced heads-up, I’m sure, on the timing of this whole thing,” he added. “We’ll make
sure that the entrance and exits to the courthouse are secure and if the protesters are there we’ll support
their rights to peacefully protest. If they’re not there, even better.”

Bragg’s office referred a request for comment Sunday to the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies.
The FBI didn’t return a request for comment.

A Secret Service spokesman said: “To maintain the highest levels of integrity for our operations, we are
not able to comment on specific protection plans or movements for any Secret Service protectee.”

Trump told followers to “take our nation back” over the potential indictment.
John Roca

Trump, in announcing his alleged pending arrest Saturday morning, chided “ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A
CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” in his post on Truth
Social.

”THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR
NATION BACK!” he wrote.

“THEY’RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA!PROTEST,
PROTEST, PROTEST!!!.” he added.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has been investigating allegations that former President Donald Trump paid hush money to
porn star Stormy Daniels over their reputed affair.

Daniels allegedly received more than $130,000 in hush money through Michael Cohen, Trump’s former
attorney and fixer.

In 2018 Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws in connection to the payments
and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Bragg, meanwhile, in an email to his staff on Saturday, said his office will not be intimidated by Trump’s
call for protests.

The NYPD said it will be ready and will not be blindsided if former President Donald Trump is indicted in Manhattan and
his supporters protest the move, as Trump asked.

“Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office will be
fully investigated and that the proper safeguards are in place so all 1,600 of us have a secure work
environment,” Bragg told his office, according to a leaked email, obtained by journalist Breanna Morello .

“In the meantime, as with all of our investigations, we will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly and
speak openly only when appropriate,” Bragg wrote. “We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or
threaten the rule of law in New York.”
