The U.S. Secret Service reportedly held meetings with New York jail authorities in preparation for a potential conviction in the hush-money case involving former President Donald Trump.
As the Manhattan trial neared its conclusion this week with the jury’s deliberations and closing statements, a reliable source informed CBS News that similar arrangements were being made.
According to the story, the New York Times reported that if Trump is imprisoned for any length of time, prison officers will be in charge of defending any Secret Service members assigned to protect him.
In reaction to the report, Trump’s supporters vented their fury, denouncing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case and highlighting the fact that Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee for president.
