Description
Donald Trump encouraged supporters to protest where he and his company are under investigation. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and other officials aren't taking his comments lightly. Officials in New York, Atlanta, and Washington, DC, are investigating whether Trump broke the law. At a Texas rally January 29, former President Donald Trump called on his supporters to stage mass protests against law-enforcement officials in New York, Atlanta, and Washington, DC, who are examining whether he broke the law. "If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had," he told a cheering crowd. With the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol firmly in mind, officials in those cities are taking Trump at his word — and preparing for the worst. In Atlanta, for instance, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently requested that the FBI assess the security of Fulton County Courthouse and other government buildings. "I am asking that you immediately conduct a risk assessment of the Fulton County Courthouse and Government Center, and that you provide protective resources to include intelligence and federal agents," Willis said in a letter to the Atlanta FBI chief, J.C. Hacker. One big reason for concern around Trump is simply his presence in a courthouse. A case (or cases) of this magnitude would most likely draw big crowds. That would mean extra work for local law enforcement and the Secret Service, which provides protection to former presidents. "Because of the attention he will draw and because of the interest that people have in him, both pro and con, the Secret Service is going to work hand in glove with the local law enforcement and other federal agencies to protect him," Bill Pickle, a former deputy assistant director in the Secret Service, previously told Insider. A criminal indictment against Trump — who faces that potential in those three cities — would be unprecedented in American history. No former president has been charged with a crime, much less convicted of one or sent to prison. Here's what officials in the cities where Trump's legal peril is greatest are doing to investigate the former president — and defend against any security threats from Trump supporters:
