Anti-Trump demonstrators hold placards outside the Manhattan District Attorney’s office in New York City on March 20, 2023.
Bragg, an elected Democrat, has not confirmed any plans publicly, but has put key witnesses in front of the jury in recent weeks and offered Trump the opportunity to testify. The NYPD geared up for an unprecedented arrest, which would see an ex-leader of the United States fingerprinted and possibly even handcuffed, by erecting barricades outside Bragg's office and Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
Senior Democrats have warned that Trump's calls could trigger a repeat of the violence that his supporters unleashed on the US Capitol in January 2021. A small protest organized by the New York Young Republican Club in lower Manhattan passed peacefully.Bragg's inquiry centers on $130,000 paid weeks before the 2016 polls to stop Daniels from going public about an affair she says she had with Trump years earlier.The payment to Daniels, if not properly accounted for, could result in a misdemeanor charge for falsifying business records.
Trump is facing several criminal investigations at the state and federal level over possible wrongdoing that threaten his new run at the White House.
