Lago, former President Donald Trump and his advisers are preparing for several different potential scenarios related to a possible indictment from the Manhattan grand jury probing a hush money scheme.

The indictment of a former president would be a remarkable moment in the country’s history in a case with a legal underpinning that appears far from open-and-shut.

Claiming his arrest is imminent, Trump has sought to rally his base around him, urging supporters in a post on his Truth Social platform to “protest, take our nation back!” Security has tightened around the Lower Manhattan courthouse where grand jurors have met for weeks to hear witness testimony.

The criminal probe of the former president was triggered by these Wall Street Journal articles concerning a payment to a porn star.

It's proving much easier to decry potential charges against Donald Trump as politically motivated than as unwarranted.
