Earlier this year the former POTUS called for protests by his supporters if he was indicted in any of the numerous criminal investigations.
American politician, media personality, and business tycoon, Donald John Trump served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021.
On the other hand, a spokesperson and a lawyer representing Donald Trump stated later on Saturday that Trump’s post was based on media reports rather than any actual update from, or communication with, prosecutors.
