Donald Trump could go to prison for his hush-money case – but even before that, he could be incarcerated on a hush-money warrant… something the Secret Service is prepared for but didn’t anticipate.
As you may know, Trump is is currently in court in New York City…where prosecutors are trying to convince a jury that he broke the law supposedly coordinating payments To Stormy Daniels to silence them before the 2016 election… something he does pleaded not guilty To.
I just want to say that Trump’s secret service must be the hardest working people on the planet. I can’t imagine the stress involved in protecting Trump on the streets of New York and elsewhere. You are all badass and we appreciate you đź‘Š pic.twitter.com/XYpuG9uJVA

Although he technically faces a maximum sentence of up to four years in prison if convicted, no one really expects that to happen, especially for a first-time offender like Trump.
However, a much more likely scenario in the meantime would be the possibility that DT is convicted of violating a confidentiality order issued by the judge in this case…which prosecutors have argued Trump has already done and should rightly be punished now.
While they are simply asking a judge to impose fines for what they say are examples of Trump violating the gag order – through posts he made on Truth Social, etc. – they also say Trump is there in the courthouse should be locked up if… he continues… and if that happens, the Secret Service is actually prepared to do what the law requires to protect him.
Federal sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, “While the likelihood of Trump being thrown out the back door of the courthouse is slim, we’re told the agency would continue to protect and support him at all costs, even if he were technical.” seen behind bars.
According to our sources, Trump would realistically remain completely segregated from other inmates in the same facility – and in that scenario, the Secret Service would be right there and on standby. In other words, there is absolutely no chance that Trump will actually be exposed.
We’re told that if Trump were held for contempt and sent to prison, it would likely be very short and temporary – something we’re told the Secret Service doesn’t believe would be difficult to deal with if it were gets tough.
Now, as for the prospect of Trump being imprisoned for much longer if convicted… Our sources say the Secret Service hasn’t actually met to discuss that possibility yet – but since it’s highly unlikely… We’re told they’re not too worried about it.
With that in mind, we were told that if this is ultimately the punishment Trump receives, the agency would come together and come up with a solid, long-term plan… and the same consideration would apply: 24/7 protection, no matter what . .. and no matter what the environment.
Luckily for DT, that’s what he could afford as a former president of these United States…whether people like it or not.
