So what if Trump goes to prison?
A number of news stories have raised the question about whether Trump would be accompanied by some kind of Secret Service detail if he ends up incarcerated.
"If he went to the jail, they would definitely be outside the cellblock guarding him," Kessler said. "Because otherwise it's useless. It's not going to do any good being out in the corridor or somewhere else."

In a column for ABC News, former Secret Service agent Donald J. Mihalek said the question about how protection would work if a former president were to go to jail has a clear answer.
"Simply, the law mandates it and the Secret Service would have to provide protection, even in jail, as only the protectee may end it," he wrote.
But Miller said that would be "exceptionally problematic" for the Secret Service and create a whole lot of challenges.
"And quite frankly, I don't think there would ever be a scenario where he would be placed in a jail with other people," he said. "That would be problematic across the spectrum."
