Trump promised to “come after” those who “go after” him on Friday, just one day after being arraigned on felony charges in Washington, D.C.
Former President Donald Trump’s apparent threat to “come after” those who “go after” him is “chilling,” according to Stephanie Grisham, his former White House press secretary.
On Friday, just one day after Trump pleaded not guilty to January 6-related criminal charges at an arraignment hearing in Washington, D.C., the former president informed his followers on Truth Social that, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”
Multiple legal experts have suggested that the post could land Trump in hot water with the judge presiding over his case, including the possibility that he could be taken into custody over potentially having violated the conditions of his bond.
During the former president’s arraignment in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya told Trump that it’s a crime “to threaten or attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case, or to retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution.
