The legal analyst likened Trump’s rhetoric concerning his potential arrest to the statements he made leading up to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Former President Donald Trump’s social media statements about his possible impending arrest might become evidence against him in future criminal trials, according to legal analyst Glenn Kirschner.
On Friday night, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, claiming to have heard that he will be arrested on Tuesday in connection with the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation into him. District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s probe has reportedly been approaching a criminal indictment against the former president for a hush-money scheme he allegedly orchestrated in 2016, with his office inviting the former president to testify before a grand jury and reportedly touching base with law enforcement agencies about what a Trump arrest might lead to.
In his posts, Trump decried Bragg’s office as « CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL, » and encouraged his supporters to « PROTEST » and « TAKE OUR NATION BACK » in the event of his arrest on Tuesday.
