AI Summary
Main Idea: A possible indictment of Donald Trump could create a long security problem for New York law enforcement and court officials because of threats, protests, and online violence.
Key Points:
- The New York Police Department and other agencies are preparing for crowds and security risks around the courthouse if Trump is charged.
- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has already faced death threats, including one with a white powder mailing, and many threats have been made against his office.
- Online spaces tied to Trump supporters have spread calls for violence, including threats against Bragg and other Democratic figures.
- Officials worry most about lone attackers, while large protests have so far drawn limited turnout and less coordination than some feared.
