Speaking on Monday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said “we’re monitoring comments on social media” and that the NYPD is making sure there are “no inappropriate actions in the city” ahead of a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump. Adams’s comments come days after Trump said he would be arrested and urged supporters to “protest” if that happened.
