The United States is preparing for the possibility of a criminal indictment or even a symbolic arrest of former President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, in the case of paying a sum of money in 2016 to a porn actress with whom he is believed to have had an affair, which the billionaire described as a "campaign of persecution" against him, calling for demonstrations.
The American "CBS" network quoted intelligence sources as saying that threats and violent speeches on the Internet are witnessing a significant increase after the former president announced that he expects to be charged by Tuesday.
The sources said that extremist posts called for civil war and warned the Manhattan Attorney General not to press charges against Trump, because that would be met with more violence than the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress.
Donald Trump defended himself again, Monday, writing in large letters on the "Truth Social" platform, "There is no crime."
The investigation accelerated last week; Michael Cohn, Trump's former lawyer - who paid off the sum in 2016 and has since become an enemy - and the porn actress testified before Grand Jury, a citizens' commission endowed with broad investigative powers responsible for certifying the indictment.
Trump was invited to speak before this jury, according to the American press. One of his lawyers said he would "voluntarily respond" to a summons from the New York judiciary.
Susan Nickelis, the former US president's lawyer, denounced what she considered "political prosecutions" against her client, Trump.
Trump cited "leaks" from the New York State Attorney General, anticipating criminal charges against him after a years-long Manhattan District Attorney's investigation led by Attorney General Alvin Bragg.
Bloomberg reported that Trump would not be handcuffed if he was formally charged in New York.
The agency quoted an informed source as saying that although Trump will be fingerprinted and photographed sideways and frontally, he will not be handcuffed in front of cameras or put in a cell.
It is likely that he will remain in detention under the guard of a secret service that will be charged with protecting him.

Trump called on his supporters to "demonstrate" and the first "peaceful" rally of his young supporters was organized Monday evening in South Manhattan Island in New York.
The main fear of the authorities is a repeat of the chaos of the attack on the Capitol (Congress) in Washington on January 6, 2021, when Donald Trump called on his supporters to protest the results of the 2020 elections, in which he was defeated by Joe Biden.
A police spokesman said, "The state of readiness of the New York Police Department is constant at all times and for all possibilities," noting that it "is coordinating with the Federal Police and the Public Prosecution Office in Manhattan."
if he is arrested or until charges are brought against him; The matter will set a precedent for a former president in the United States, as no American president has ever been charged, whether in office or after leaving the White House.
Trump announced, last Saturday, that he might be arrested in New York City, on Tuesday, against the background of allegations by porn actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, that she received $ 130,000 from Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's lawyer, weeks before the 2016 elections.
The money was allegedly paid to keep Stephanie silent about an affair she says she had with Trump years ago.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, has ordered a parliamentary investigation into those responsible for the criminal investigation into Trump in Manhattan.
McCarthy accused the Manhattan district attorney of "outrageous" abuse of power.
This New York issue is one of several issues directed at Trump, as there are other issues such as:
The case of his interference in the Georgia state elections.
He also faces an investigation into his role in storming the US Congress headquarters on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to cancel his defeat in the presidential elections at the time.
Finally, he faces a second investigation regarding his keeping secret documents after leaving the White House.
