“Donald Trump, the only former president to ever face criminal charges, will make his first public remarks Saturday since the release of a federal indictment accusing him of mishandling classified information, as he and his allies issue inflammatory calls to action and escalating attacks on law enforcement,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump encouraged supporters to assemble on Tuesday in Miami, where he is scheduled to appear in court.”
Said his post on Truth Social: “SEE YOU IN MIAMI ON TUESDAY!!!”
Playbook: “The backdrop is an unmistakable rhetorical escalation from Trump’s supporters — and even some of his rivals inside the GOP — some of whom have not only attacked the Justice Department and special counsel Jack Smith but have cast Trump’s indictment as a politically apocalyptic moment.”
