Trump predicted last weekend that he would be arrested this week before his major campaign rally in Texas.
Donald Trump is holding his first official 2024 presidential campaign rally in Waco, Texas, amid speculation that he could soon be under indictment.
The event coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Waco siege of 1993.
Mary Trump has called on her social media followers to sign up for free tickets but not attend, to fill the venue with empty seats.
Former President Donald Trump heads to his first official 2024 presidential campaign rally in Waco, Texas amid ongoing speculation that he could soon be under indictment.
Trump predicted last weekend that he would be arrested on Tuesday as part of the Manhattan District Attorney’s probe into a $130,000 reimbursement paid to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for a payment he made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The Waco rally comes after a week that has seen no indictment or arrest, despite Trump’s own prediction, and the event will be the first major rally of his new presidential campaign.
The event is due to take place Saturday night at Waco Regional Airport in the state that Trump won in 2016 and 2020.
Trump’s team announced the Texas rally just one day before the former president announced that he expected to be arrested amid Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s probe and called for protests from his supporters.
However, the investigation in New York is not the only potential legal issue facing the former president as he positions himself as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.
