Trump says criminal charges against him would unleash 'big problems' in an allusion to violence

Donald Trump warned on Thursday that if he is indicted, there would be big problems.

"I don't think the people of the United States are going to stand for it," Trump said in an interview.

"I think you would have problems in this country the likes of which we have never seen before," he said.

Over 100 documents recovered during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate were marked as classified.

There were calls for a civil war in the country after the FBI searched his Florida home. In the charged atmosphere, Trump had warned that the country is in a dangerous position and that Americans are not going to stand for another scam, while simultaneously feeding the anger of his supporters.

He broached the idea that his comments could be seen as condoning violence.

Trump said that it was not inciting. I'm just giving my opinion. The people of this would not stand for it.

The Senate Judiciary Chairman, an Illinois Democrat, denounced the former president's latest remarks on Thursday saying that they are "careless" and adding that "Inflammatory rhetoric has its consequences."

The US could see violence like the assault on the US Capitol in January of 2021, according to political scientists.

"If you have politicians who are riling everyone up and law enforcement that is sort of wishy-washy or weak in its response, then you have a really volatile mix that emboldens these kinds of groups to continue with what they're doing."

The Justice Department's investigation into Trump's handling of government records is not the only one.

The Fulton County District Attorney is looking into the possibility that Trump and his associates tried to influence the results of the Georgia election. The Trump Organization is being investigated by New York's Attorney General. The US Capitol attack is being investigated by a House Select Committee.

The Justice Department will not indict Trump, he said in the interview. He said that an indictment against him doesn't prevent him from running for president.

Insider spoke to legal experts who said that Trump could run for president even if he is convicted. Candidates for president must be at least 35 years old and a natural born US citizen.
