Washington, March 21, 2023, 06:27 — REGNUM To protest actions related to the possible indictment of the ex-US President Donald Trump and his arrest is being prepared by the Capitol police in Washington. This was reported on March 20 by Politico.

Capitol police are preparing for possible protests if the former American leader is charged and taken into custody, at least two people familiar with the situation said. It is alleged that starting from the morning of March 21 local time (March 22 Moscow time), the level of police security will be increased.

In addition, a fence may be installed on the approach to the Capitol. According to police intelligence, some of the protests may begin near the Trump estate in Florida and New York City, and not at the Capitol.

The ex-head of the White House himself called on his supporters to protest, in case he was taken into custody.
