NEW YORK, March 18 – RIA Novosti. The New York Police Department is on constant alert, he told RIA Novosti in response to a question in the police department’s press service about whether law enforcement officers were somehow preparing for possible protests against the backdrop of an earlier phone call by former US President Donald.

NBC previously reported that Trump could face charges next week for allegedly paying pornographic actress Stormy Daniels for allegedly keeping quiet about their relationship. According to the channel, law enforcement began preparations for possible riots in central New York, where the trial was held.

Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social that he was awaiting arrest on Tuesday, and in connection with this, he urged his supporters to come out to protest.

The former president denies both his affiliation with Daniels and any unlawful acts on his behalf. He refused to testify to the jury.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sat on the public agenda in 2018. Later, the Wall Street Journal, citing a source, wrote that shortly before Trump’s presidential candidacy, his lawyer Michael Cohen paid the actress $130,000 as part of a confidentiality agreement about her relationship with the president. The White House denied this information.

Later, when the actress told the media that an unidentified man threatened her and her child in connection with the disclosure of information about the incident, Trump accused Daniels of lying.
