The nation would face problems if he is indicted over his handling of classified documents after leaving office, according to Donald Trump.
The former president said an indictment wouldn't stop him from running for the White House again, and that Americans wouldn't stand for his prosecution.
Trump said in an interview that he wouldn't have a problem running if there was a situation like that. If it did happen, I think you would have a lot of problems in this country. I don't believe the people of the United States would approve of it.
Trump said he meant problems.
They would have a lot of problems. There are big issues. They wouldn't stand for it. Trump said that they wouldn't stand for this ultimate of hoaxes.
If the DOJ indicts Trump, it isn't the first time Republicans have mentioned civil unrest. Lindsey Graham made headlines last month when he said there would be riots in the street if Donald Trump was indicted. Graham was accused of being irresponsible andshameful. The South Carolina senator's comments were said to be dangerous by the White House.
The former president was asked how he would respond when the media accused him of inciting violence.
It is not inciting. "I'm just saying what my opinion is." I don't believe the people of this country would support it.
Last month, the FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, sparking a political uproar. According to a Justice Department court filing released in August, prosecutors obtained a search warrant for the estate after receiving evidence that there was an attempt to hide classified documents. Dozens of empty folders with classified markings were recovered by agents.
An outside review of the seized documents is being considered by the DOJ and Trump's lawyers.
Trump's legal team has so far refused to make a claim that he "declassified" everything he took to Mar-a-Lago.
It's not out of character for Trump to say he's going to kill people. The president told the crowd to fight harder against bad people and to show strength in his speech in January of 2021. His comments that day have been a focal point of the investigation into the president and his inner circle.
