President Donald Trump's Secret Service has reportedly detail met with local jail officials ahead of the decision in the NYC trial to prepare if Trump has to go behind bars. The report comes as the judge overseeing the case has ruled that the jurors do not have to agree on the crime that Trump committed.
According to a report from CBS News, Trump's Secret Service detail has met with local New York corrections officials in preparation for the possibility, a New York corrections source told the outlet. Being the 45th president of the United States, Trump has the right to Secret Service protection for the rest of his life. Being put behind bars may complicate the situation if that is the case.
During a May 6 hearing of the trial, Judge Merchan said that he worries "about the people who would have to execute that sanction: the court officers, the correction officers, the Secret Service detail, among others." Merchan has previously threatened Trump with jail time over violations of the gag order placed on Trump. Trump serving jail time, or a sentence of sorts is still uncertain in the case, however, the prospect would be unprecedented.
