Secret Service agents have reportedly met with jail officials in New York City in order to prepare for a possible conviction in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s dubious “hush money” case.

A source within the New York Department of Corrections told CBS News that preparations are underway as the trial reached the closing arguments phase of the trial. A verdict could be handed down as early as this week.

According to the report, corrections officers will be responsible for protecting any Secret Service personnel tasked with defending Trump behind bars. While the location of Trump’s potential imprisonment remains unclear, CBS noted that shorter sentences can be served at the notorious Rikers Island prison, which has a separate wing for high-profile inmates.

Trump is charged with 34 felony counts by Bragg in a case that has been panned by dozens of high-profile legal scholars since it was announced last year.

The Manhattan D.A. used COVID-era policies to expand the statute of limitations on an administrative payment error, which is generally a misdemeanor. Bragg then upgraded the charge to a felony, citing a “conspiracy” to commit another crime. The other crime has never been specified by Bragg after more than a month of trial proceedings.

“There is reasonable doubt all over this case,” former prosecutor Randy Zelin told CNN on Tuesday. “Anytime a human being needs to make an important decision in life, if you have enough information, you go ahead. If not, you seek more—that’s reasonable doubt,” he said.

“How did Michael Cohen get away with stealing $30,000… and make $4 million from this? He thought he’d be chief of staff; he’s a fixer. If the plumber comes to my house to fix my leak, I could be home. That doesn’t mean I know how he’s doing it and what it’s taking to be fixed. Stormy Daniels—let’s hold a pity party for her,” the attorney continued.

Despite consistent reporting, even from left-wing networks such as CNN and MSNBC, that Bragg’s witnesses have been underwhelming, critics have raised concerns over Judge Juan Merchan’s highly questionable jury instructions.

“Before the jury entered, the judge told the parties not to go into the law, ‘that will be my job.’ That is precisely what worries many of us. Merchan has proven a minimalist judge giving the defendant the bare minimum of protections at every turn,” said constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley in an X post Tuesday.

“The fraud instruction alone is so generalized that it would seem to encompass any claim that the defendant sought to influence the election through his actions. Merchan has done little to tailor standard instructions for this novel and frankly troubling case,” he continued.

Trump faces more than 134 years in prison if convicted in the New York case.
