DC Authorities and Secret Service Make Preparations for Potential Trump Indictment
Secret Service officials and the Washington Metropolitan Police have met to discuss the potential reaction to an indictment against former President Donald Trump. The indictment would be related to allegations of interference in the 2020 election and involvement in the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Although no exact date has been given for the indictment, law enforcement agencies believe it is coming soon.
The Secret Service and police are coordinating efforts in case Trump is ordered to come to Washington, D.C., for an arraignment. So far, there has been no concerning online chatter, but the agencies are monitoring for potential violence from protesters.
The indictment in Washington, D.C., would be connected to the ongoing investigation by special counsel Jack Smith. Charges were recently added to the indictments Trump is facing in Florida. Additionally, there is a potential criminal indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, where a grand jury is considering charges of interference in the 2020 election. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has stated that indictments could be handed down in August.
Authorities have enhanced security measures at the courthouse in Atlanta, but it is unclear if this is related to a grand jury investigation and potential indictment against Trump.
Overall, law enforcement agencies are preparing for the possibility of an indictment against Trump and potential protests or violence that may occur as a result.
