So, right now, at this very moment, former President Donald Trump is giving his first extended extended public remarks since he was indicted on tuesday for trying to overturn the 2020 election. At this event tonight, trump has been railing against the Department Of Justice and multiple federal in the multiple federal criminal indictment that have been brought against him by that department. He has called out marxist prosecutors for what he referred to as racist in reverse racist in reverse, just making sure you get, that racist in reverse enforcement of the law which presumably means racism against white people. According to his prepared remarks, theres also some room in there for five remarks about the deep state, and crooked joe biden, and you get the picture. Now, because mr. Trump is currently running for president , Conventional Wisdom might suggest that he would make these remarks on the campaign trail, maybe in an early primary state, like iowa, or new hampshire, or south caroli
Referred to as racist in reverse racists in reverse, just making sure you get, that racist in reverse presumably means racism white people. According to his prepared remarks, theres also some room in there for five remarks about the deep state, and crooked joe biden, and you get the picture. Now, because mr. Trump is currently running for president , Conventional Wisdom might suggest that he would make these remarks on the campaign trail, maybe in an early primary state, like iowa, or new hampshire, or south carolina. But mr. Trump decided that his first major post indictment Public Address would take place in the state of alabama. And that is notable for a couple of reasons.

Heres The Big Question of the evening, everyone. Did donald trump just perhaps violate the conditions of his release . The former president threatening retaliation just 24 hours after, yes, his third indictment. What a judge warned him against, intimidating or tampering with witnesses. Take a look. On social media, he was writing, quote, if you go after me, im coming after you. Kind of a way of saying, dont come for me till i send for you, apparently. Well talk about that with our law expert who testified at one of his impeachment hearings. Trump also railed against the charges against him at an event in alabama just a short time ago.

Facing 78 Felony Counts across three separate Criminal Cases with a four potential indictment from Fulton County, georgia coming any day now. This d. C.

I think this case is the most serious of the cases because the conduct here involved trying to subvert and prevent the progress, the execution, probably the most important process and proceeding we have in our country, which is the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Putting aside whether its criminal or not, you know, it i dont see how the Republican Party can nominate someone who is capable of doing Something Like that. So were going to have more of that interview in just a moment with the man who was asking those questions. We also have the latest on what lawyers who practice frequently in washington, d. C. Are calling an unusual warning the former president received from the judge yesterday
