No former president has ever been put on criminal trial, but both the U.S. Secret Service and New York City Police Department said Friday that they are prepared to handle security at what is sure to be a media spectacle.
“The U.S. Secret Service is prepared to effectively carry out our protective mission here in New York," Patrick J. Freaney, special agent in charge at the U.S. Secret Service's New York Field Office, said in a statement. "While operational security precludes us from going into specifics, the U.S. Secret Service will not seek any special accommodations outside of what would be required to ensure the continued safety of the former president."
