(Reuters) - The mayor of New York City said on Tuesday he would take U.S. President Donald Trump to court if he went forward with a threat to send federal agents to help police the country's most populous city, but predicted that Trump was bluffing.
Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke to reporters a day after Trump said he would send law enforcement to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities in a federal crackdown on anti-racism protests sparked by George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
