Barricades have been erected around a Manhattan courthouse where supporters of Donald Trump are preparing to protest allegations related to the 2016 election campaign that he secretly paid a porn star not to distribute classified material against him, US media reported.  

“Protest, take back our nation!” Trump called on Saturday, and his words raised concerns that the scenes of violence that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, could be repeated. However, some of his far-right supporters fear law enforcement could set up a trap for them and have chosen not to heed his appeals, security experts say.
