Trump calls for 'the biggest protest we have ever had' in DC and other cities if prosecutors investigating him 'do anything illegal'

Speaking at a Texas rally, former President Donald Trump called for nationwide protests if prosecutors investigate him and his businesses.

He made a baseless claim that the 2020 election was rigged, which led to the January 6 Capitol riot.

If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we will have the biggest protest we have ever had in Washington DC, New York, Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt.

Since leaving office, Trump has faced a number of investigations into his actions as president.

Trump told his supporters at the rally that they were not after him, but he was the one who was in the way.

The House select committee is looking into the actions of Trump and his associates on January 6.

The New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney's office are investigating the financial dealings of the Trump Organization.

According to New York Attorney General Letitia James, her office has uncovered significant evidence that the Trump Organization used fraudulent and misleading asset valuations on multiple properties.

For years, they have been going after my company, using every trick in the book in an attempt to put me in jail. At the rally on Saturday, Trump said that they want to put him in jail.

The former president called the prosecutors "racist", "mentally sick", and accused them of "prosecutorial misconduct" at the highest level.

Trump said that they were going after him without any protection of his rights.

On several occasions, Trump has appealed to the US Supreme Court to try and prevent investigators from obtaining documents and records related to their probes.

The Supreme Court denied his request to block the January 6 committee from obtaining presidential records, which he tried to hide by citing executive privilege.

The Supreme Court rejected a challenge from Trump to keep his tax returns secret.
