Donald Trump warns 'death and destruction' if he
is accused of a crime
Hours after New York prosecutors looking into his hush-money
payment to porn star Stormy Daniels said they would not be intimidated, former
US president Donald Trump warned of possible "death &
destruction" if he faces criminal charges.
Since last Saturday, when Trump incorrectly predicted Alvin
Bragg would be arrested three days later, he has been the target of a series of
verbal insults on Trump's Truth Social media platform.
In an attempt to stop Congress, from validating the election
of Democratic President Joe Biden, who defeated the Republican Trump by more
than 7 million votes, Trump's supporters initiated a deadly attack on the U.S.
Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump falsely claims that his defeat in 2020 was
the result of fraud.
"What kind of person can charge another person with a crime when it is known by all that NO crime has been committed, and also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? In this case, the former President of the United States, who receive more votes than any sitting President in the history, and leading candidate (by a long shot!) for the Republican Party nomination." Trump, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 wrote.
In a letter sent to Republican congressional committee
chairs on Thursday, Bragg's office questioned their authority to look into his
office and claimed that Trump had "made a false expectation that he would
be detained" in his Saturday post.
According to the letter, the chairmen's request for
communications, records, and testimony constituted a "illegal intrusion
upon the sovereignty of the State of New York."
Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels who is an
adult film director and actress also, who claims she had a sexual encounter
with Trump in 2006, and was paid to remain silent about it.
Trump described the payment a "simple private
transaction" and denied ever having an affair with Daniels. He has argued
that he did not break any laws and claimed that the probe was politically
motivated.
The Manhattan grand jury looking into Trump won't meet again until the following week.
In other cases, prosecutors in Georgia are examining Trump's
attempts to have his Georgian election loss overturned, and a federal special
counsel is looking into both those endeavours as well as the removal of
sensitive papers from the White House after Trump left office.
Thirty years after a federal agent raid on the religious
group known as the Branch Davidians there left 86 people dead, including four
law enforcement officers, Trump will hold a campaign rally there saturday.
The incident marks a turning point for some right-wing
extremist groups and has come to represent government overreach for others.
A Trump campaign representative claimed in an email that
Waco was picked because it is close to many significant population areas and
has the facilities required to conduct a sizable event.
