Judge Juan Merchan, who presides over the criminal case against Donald Trump, his family and the Manhattan court received dozens of threats after Tuesday's hearing.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other senior officials in his office also continue to receive threats.
According to what was revealed by law enforcement sources to Nbc News, the threats came in the form of phone calls, e-mails and letters: the judge and also the district attorney obtained further protection.
The bunny breaks the silence
Meanwhile, Karen McDougal,
the Playboy bunny who, along with Stormy Daniels, is one of the protagonists
of Donald Trump's indictment, breaks the silence.
On her Instagram account, she posts a photo of her in the mountains, in Vail, Colorado, with an ironic message: "I was out, let's hope we haven't lost anything".
The reference is to the accusations leveled against the former president for having paid the porn star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence on their relationship.
The grand jury that indicted Trump also looked into the payment to a second woman, namely McDougal.
Melania's ex-friend
Melania Trump's silence is "deliberate, it is her weapon, her protective armor."
To speak of the former American first lady, the great absentee on the day of the indictment of Donald Trump, is her ex best friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, according to whom Melania lives in an "ivory tower of denial".
"Obviously about Stormy Daniels and she knows everything. Her silence is her dignity. She will stand by her husband as she always does. I don't think she is humiliated by 'Trump's' reports but she is angry," Wolkoff tells the New York Post, adding that Melania will not leave her husband.
"Theirs is a transactional marriage, she knew what she was getting into when she married Donald," notes Wolkoff.
