NEW YORK — The NYPD is stepping up security and scouring social media for threats as the city braces for protests over former President Donald Trump’s potential criminal indictment — including an expected “car caravan” of Trump supporters who plan to come in from Long Island on Tuesday, the New York Daily News has learned.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could charge Trump on felony charges as early as this week, and Mayor Eric Adams, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell and other NYPD brass held a briefing for local elected officials Monday afternoon to outline security preparations underway in anticipation of the potential prosecutorial bombshell.
The Daily News obtained a recording of the private briefing.
