cooperate with extradition requests. we have new details from alvin braggs political witch hunt. according to sources donald trump turned himself in today after the grand jury vote unfairly to indict him. because of security concerns the arraignment won t be until next week probably tuesday afternoon. donald trump will be booked and fingerprinted. there will be a mug shot. media mob will get their so desired mug shot. my instinct tells me my colleague pete last night is going to be proven correct that photograph will end up on more t-shirts and hats that say maga trump 20 2457bd appear before the judge who by the way the same judge who was accused of railroading the former cfo of
minority whip excuse me, john thune both silent on the issue after this, but a lot of this support also extends beyond congress. we re seeing his rivals like governor. desantis, who has not been willing to go this far yet also come out and support donald trump he tweeted as well on thursday night. he wrote the weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the role of law on its head. it is un american. he later wrote. florida will not assist in an extradition requests, given the questionable circumstances that issue with the source backed manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda, so clearly a lot of support for the former president. and i will add victor tomorrow that this is what donald trump s team wants. they think that this could potentially be beneficial to him in the long and of course, we don t know what the long term effect of this indictment will be, but they re currently enjoying a lot of the support from people on capitol hill and republicans bey
rhetoric that we ve been hearing from bolsonaro for years, denying elections, throwing into doubt the electoral system in brazil, questioning the supreme court. he said that was very much part of what fuelled and what stoked the protests here on sunday. and i think there s something that he said that will resonate with those in the u.s., given everything that happened the last two years in the insurrection. i m just going to read it out. he said, words have power, and these words turned into hate, which turned into destruction. it is a political responsibility with the aim, he said, of a coup d etat. we start hearing calls in brazil from of course members of congress asking for bolsonaro to be extradited. but as you know, the u.s. state department has not received any official extradition requests. thank you. a mother of three has been missing since new year s day.
but we re certainly seeing those reports. we obviously have no reason to believe that he is not outside, that he is outside the united states in any way. do you believe that he is not outside the u.s., right? just so i m clear. i m sorry, i got a little tongue-tied there. we don t have any indication to think that he has left the united states. let me put it that way. got it. what do we know about, and i know you re got going to get into specifics about visas so i will be careful how i ask it. if there is in fact an issue with bolsonaro overstaying his visa and not taking appropriate action, do you believe this administration would take moves to expel him from the country and if brazil asks, would the u.s. extradite him? i don t want to get into hypotheticals and there certainly hasn t been, and we re not aware of extradition requests for bolsonaro and as the state department put, it we can t talk about his particular visa situation by law, but if somebody were to come in on an
we will not prosecute. is it likely that the u.s. will say never mind, if they have a federal hook? i think it is possible that that could happen. you are describing the possibility of a u.s. and prosecution as a backstop is a good way to describe it. extradition requests are unavoidably political, so we typically file x tradition requests. we ve been successful in getting high-level criminals return to the united states for drug cartel leaders, striking him things, things like that. now the tables have turned and the mexicans have made that request of us. i think to some degree, politically, we are in a tight spot here. we are going to have to stand up and deliver on our side of the extradition treaty bargain. however, it s that prosecutions fails in mexico, double jeopardy would likely not prohibit the u.s. from going forward with her own prosecution here because of the concept of a separate sovereign. that is always the same idea
