MSN reports:
Secret Service members reportedly met with local jail officials this month to prepare for the possibility that ex-President Donald Trump is found guilty and sentenced to prison for the criminal charges currently against him, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In a sudden development to come as closing arguments for Trump’s criminal trial kicked off in Manhattan on Tuesday, it was revealed that the Secret Service was in the process of preparing for the ex-president’s upcoming verdict.
According to one New York corrections source, the Secret Service recently met with local jail officials to survey the New York prisons where the ex-president could potentially be incarcerated.
Because Trump remains entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest of his life as a former president, a Secret Service team would be forced to follow Trump should he be found guilty, remanded immediately, and sentenced to a stint behind bars.
Manhattan Prosecutor Duncan Levin recently discussed Trump’s potential prison sentence.
He acknowledged that while the former president’s falsification of business records trial was not a “typical case,” Trump could face up to four years in prison for each of the 34 charges filed against him.
“It’s much more informally done in state court,” Levin said of the possible sentence hearing. “I’ve had cases where the jury comes back and says, ‘Guilty,’ and the judge thanks the jury, and excuses them, and says, ‘Let’s sentence the defendant right now.’”
“Obviously, everything’s a little different about this case than the typical case,” the Manhattan prosecutor added.
Levin also explained that the Secret Service must have a plan in place just in case Trump is “remanded on the spot” following a guilty verdict.
ADVERTISEMENTAs RadarOnline.com previously reported, the jury overseeing Trump’s criminal trial could return a verdict against the embattled ex-president as soon as next week.
