America is hanging on to the possible criminal indictment in New York of the former president of the United States for a case of payment in 2016 to a porn actress with whom he allegedly had an affair.
Will he be arrested? This is the question that will keep the United States in suspense this Tuesday, March 21. Donald Trump has warned he expects to be charged – in an unprecedented move for a former US president – in a case involving a November 2016 payment to a porn actress, Stormy Daniels, with whom he allegedly had an affair.

The presidential candidate for 2024 immediately called on his supporters to demonstrate, putting the police on the alert. For an American president in office or having left the White House, such an indictment would be historic and unprecedented. The Republican billionaire denounces a “witch hunt” led by the Democrats, but his calls to “protest” failed Monday evening: only a handful of red flocked “Make America Great Again” caps were visible a stone’s throw from the offices of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who guarded silence in recent days and nothing says that the possible indictment will be announced on Tuesday.

At the same time, here, it’s New York, there’s the police. The Trumpists will be overwhelmed… If they decide to come!“Because, in fact, the city is preparing in coordination with the FBI: barriers have thus appeared around the judicial institutions.
“Our goal is not to wreak havoc, assures Gavin Wax, the president of the Young Republicans of the city. We were adamant, we sacrificed the size of our movement to have peace of mind. We don’t want to be singled out if it gets out of hand,” he said.
The violence, on the other hand, is less contained on social networks, where some call for taking up arms to prevent the arrest of Donald Trump.
