While the Manhattan District Attorney’s office mulls issuing an arrest warrant for former President Donald Trump, the New York Police Department prepares to keep the city law and order in anticipation of possible turmoil.
The NYPD has strategically placed 700 extremely trained riot cops and built sturdy steel barriers surrounding the Manhattan Criminal Court to maintain public safety and order in the event of a grand jury indictment.

The “likely indictment” and “unprecedented arrest” of Donald Trump were fantasies of The New York Times.
“He would be fingerprinted. He would be photographed. He could even be handcuffed. And if Donald J. Trump is indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in the days ahead for his role in a hush money payment to a porn star, the former president of the United States of America will be read the standard Miranda warning: He will be told that he has the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.”
“These are among the routine steps for felony arrests in New York. But the unprecedented arrest of a former commander in chief — one whose devoted supporters once staged a violent attack on the Capitol — will be anything but routine,” the story added.
The Times further stated that “more than a dozen senior Police Department officials and two of the mayor’s top public safety aides held a virtual meeting to discuss security, staffing and contingency plans in the event of any protests, one person with knowledge of the meeting said.”
The Times draws an intriguing parallel between the careful security measures in place in New York City amid the potential for a Trump prosecution and the terrifying scene of the Capitol rioting on January 6, 2021.
“That meeting followed a call from Mr. Trump himself, in a post on his site Truth Social on Saturday morning: ‘PROTEST,’ he exhorted his supporters. ‘TAKE OUR NATION BACK!’
“The former president’s rallying cry, with an indictment looming, conjured up memories of the Jan. 6, 2020, assault on the Capitol,” the Times added.
In an unexpected turn of events, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is getting ready to exercise his Congressional authority to examine the alleged political motivations behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pursuit of the former president.
“Republicans plan to use their new investigative powers in the House majority to ramp up probes into the Biden family and liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg amid reports that Mr. Bragg is on the verge of indicting former President Donald Trump on felony charges,” according to the Washington Times.
“An aide to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, told The Washington Times on Sunday that Mr. Jordan’s panel on the weaponization of the federal government “’is expected to respond’ to Mr. Bragg’s plans to indict Mr. Trump with an investigation and possible hearings,” the report added.
The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government is going to look at the Manhattan District Attorney’s case against former President Trump, according to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who made the announcement. The subcommittee’s continuous dedication to promoting openness and accountability across the federal government is shown by this inquiry.
McCarthy discloses the House’s intention to investigate how federal monies were used by Bragg’s office. As the upcoming statement from the weaponization panel about the probe approaches on Monday, there is growing expectation.
“This is the type of thing America hates, and it divides America and it is wrong,” McCarthy said.
Also, McCarthy commented on Trump’s call for “protests.” As he urged his fans to “protest, protest, protest” and “take our nation back” on his Truth Social social media platform, the speaker disputed that his words suggested violence. Trump’s statements, he added, did not refer to street demonstrations.
“I don’t think people should protest this. No,” McCarthy said. “And if you talk to President Trump, he doesn’t believe this either.”
