An array of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in New York are preparing for the possibility that ex-President Donald Trump will be criminally charged as early as next week in connection with a hush-money payment to a porn star, WNBC reported Friday.

Discussions between the agencies included potential security arrangements around the state Criminal Court in lower Manhattan, where a grand jury has been hearing testimony related to the 2016 payoff to Stormy Daniels, according to the report, which cited five senior officials.

If he is indicted, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate Trump would become the first former president ever to face criminal charges.

Many legal observers expect him to be indicted, based on the fact that a grand jury was impaneled in the first place, and because prosecutors recently offered Trump the opportunity to testify.
