President Trump on Monday defended the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager accused of killing two protesters in Kenosha, Wis. „We’re looking at all of it. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as I saw,“ the president told reporters during a news conference at the White House. Trump described Rittenhouse as acting in self-defense, saying he was „very violently attacked“ by demonstrators. „And it was something that we’re looking at right now, and it’s under investigation,“ Trump said. „But I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would have been killed, but it’s under investigation.“ Asked if he backs his supporters taking matters into their own hands with weapons, Trump said he’d „like to see law enforcement take care of everything.“ Rittenhouse,17, faces homicide charges after he allegedly shot and killed two people during protests Tuesday in Kenosha.
