NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Monday he was 'confident' the city is prepared for any protests related to a potential indictment of former President Donald Trump.

Writing on his Truth Social platform Saturday, Trump called for protests against what he said was his expected arrest Tuesday, in connection with the Manhattan district attorney's probe into the 2016 hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Adams said city officials have heard"a lot of reports" about a potential indictment, but told reporters he has not met with Bragg nor discussed the matter with him.
On Sunday a small group of pro-Trump demonstrators gathered on the bridge connecting Palm Beach to the mainland. They said they would return with more people on Tuesday or sooner if Trump were to be indicted, according to reports. The bulletin notes that the Trump's social media post in which he called for protests"was met with an immediate increase in violent online rhetoric and expressed threats toward government and law enforcement targets perceived as participating in a political persecution of the former president, as well as calls for 'Civil War' more generally.
"The FBI continues to closely monitor a potential Indictment of the former President which open source reporting has indicated may occur in the coming week," the FBI said in a warning obtained by ABC News.
