Donald Trump Dismisses Criminal Indictments and Gears Up for 2024 Election Battle

Leave a comment

Former US President Donald Trump on Wednesday called his four criminal indictments “bullshit” and said US citizens “get it” as he keeps rising in the polls.

“bullshit. It’s all bullshit, it’s horrible,” he said clearly agitated during an interview posted on Twitter with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson .

Trump defended that citizens are “smart” since, in general, if someone is charged, they go down in the polls.

The former president is the favorite to win the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential elections, where he hopes to face again the current president, Joe Biden, against whom he lost in the 2020 elections.

Some elections that Trump continues to maintain were fraudulent, despite the fact that the result has been endorsed by the Justice and the main media in the country.

Precisely his insistence on not accepting the 2020 electoral outcome has made him receive two of his four criminal charges:

one in Washington DC. for allegedly trying to reverse the results at the national level and another in Georgia for trying to do the same in that state.

During the interview with Carlson, which was published at the same time as the first GOP debate began in Milwaukee, Trump again defended his belief that then-Vice President Mike Pence could have stopped confirmation of Biden’s election victory by refusing to to accept the result. Most experts agree that, to do so, the Republican would have gone against the Constitution.

Trump stood firm on his position and accused the prosecutor in charge of his case in Georgia, Fani Willis, of denying him his right to doubt the election results.

The former president also spoke of the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and assured that there was “much love” in the crowd gathered in front of the US Legislative headquarters.

That day, five people died and dozens of officers were injured when a mob of Trump supporters tried to stop the confirmation of Biden’s election victory.

The role played by the ex-president that day is part of the Washington DC criminal indictment

Asked if he thinks the United States is headed for civil war, Trump said: “I don’t know.. There’s a level of passion I’ve never seen and a level of hate I’ve never seen. It’s a dangerous combination.”

The former president of the United States Donald Trump (2017-2021) confirmed this Monday in a message on social networks that this coming Thursday he will hand himself over to the authorities in the state of Georgia, where he is accused of allegedly trying to reverse the results of the elections in 2020.

Trump wrote in a message on his social network, Truth Social, that his “trip” to the city of Atlanta on Thursday will not be to commit any murder but to “make a perfect call.”

The former president was referring to one of the main charges of the accusation: the recording in which Trump asks the Secretary of State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” enough votes to win in the state.

In his message on Monday, the former president again charged the prosecutor in charge of the case, Fani Willis, whom he accused, as he usually does, of leading a witch hunt against him.

This Monday it was also known that Trump will have to pay a bail of 200,000 dollars (about 183,580 euros at today’s exchange rate) to avoid jail after his imputation in the state.

The payment of that bond will allow the Republican to regain his freedom once he has turned himself in at the Fulton County (Georgia) prison.

Trump was indicted last week on 13 counts by a Georgia grand jury for trying to rig the results of the 2020 election in the state, where incumbent Joe Biden narrowly won.

Among the crimes he is accused of is violating the RICO law, commonly used against mafia bosses, which could lead to several years in prison if proven during the trial.

This is Trump’s fourth criminal indictment. Two weeks ago he was indicted by a grand jury in Washington DC. four charges for allegedly trying to reverse the result of the US elections. of 2020 and encouraging the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

In addition, in New York, Trump has been charged with 34 charges for payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom he had an “affair” in the past, to buy his silence during the 2016 election campaign.

The other criminal case is in Florida, where he is charged with 40 counts of illegally stealing and keeping classified documents that he took from the White House in his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
