"We want to see if there are protests of any kind about any issue or quite frankly, let alone this, that they're peaceful," he added.

Asked whether he was worried about security, Kirby responded: "I'm not aware of any indications that we're preparing for that kind of activity, specifically, with respect to those comments. But obviously, we work hand in glove with local and state authorities all around the country, and we'll continue to watch this as best we can."

Trump said on his Truth Social site Saturday morning that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday, writing in part, "PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!" 

Critics accused Trump of inciting violence and compared his call to action to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol building and temporarily halted the certification of President Biden’s election victory.
