PALM BEACH, Fla. — With the possibility that Donald Trump could soon be indicted, groups of supporters gathered Tuesday near Mar-a-Lago to show their continued devotion to the former president amid multiple legal probes.
A handful of people, carrying American flags and flags with Trump's face on them, were parked on the Southern Boulevard bridge located just outside of Trump's home.
The Trump supporters stood in a small parking area just to the west of Mar-a-Lago.
"I think what's going on here is awesome," Cindy Falco DiCorrado, a long-time Trump supporter from Boynton Beach, said Tuesday. "We're standing here in support of our great President Donald J. Trump, and I believe that no matter what they throw at him they're going to get surprised, no matter what they try to do because Donald Trump is a man of valor and integrity."

The demonstration presented some challenges for people at the rally since parking in the area is very limited and filled up quickly.
Most of the Trump supporters had to park in West Palm Beach and walk over the Southern Boulevard bridge to get to the rally.
A New York grand jury investigating Trump over a hush money payment to a porn star appeared poised to complete its work soon.

Trump over the weekend claimed without any evidence that he would be arrested on Tuesday, with his representatives later saying he was citing media reports and leaks.

There was no indication that prediction would come true, though the grand jury appeared to take an important step forward by hearing Monday from a witness favorable to Trump, presumably so prosecutors could ensure the panel had a chance to consider any testimony that could be remotely seen as exculpatory.
Law enforcement in New York City has been put on alert pending a possible indictment against Trump, and raising concerns about possible violence during protests.
"That would be contrary to what a democracy stands for. That rule of law should stand for everyone," attorney Richard Ryles of the Palm Beach County Black Caucus said. "We can't, because we don’t agree with the rule of law, decide we’re going to overthrow the government," Ryles said.
The former president has remained at Mar-a-Lago as New York braced for disruptions that could follow an indictment.
Amid this investigation, Trump still faces a slew of other legal problems including possible meddling in the 2020 Georgia election, events surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and a handful of top secret documents found at Mar-a-Lago last year.
