He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections, and incitements to violence. Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable.\u201d Pelosi emphasized that the case against Trump was significant, and no one is above the law, even a former US President.<\/p>\n<p>The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, is investigating Trump\u2019s involvement in providing $130,000 in hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n<p>Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung called Bragg\u2019s investigation into Trump a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d and said Trump is \u201ccompletely innocent\u201d and did \u201cnothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On March 21, Trump insisted that his possible indictment in the case would be \u201cbased on an old &#038; fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairy tale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats shared Pelosi\u2019s criticism of Trump. Rep. Jimmy Gomez wrote that Trump\u2019s call to supporters was reminiscent of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, where he incited an insurrection. Rep. Eric Swalwell posted on Twitter that Trump\u2019s \u201cgoal is acts of violence in his name,\u201d and they must be prepared to protect against it.<\/p>\n<p>Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has rallied around Trump, calling the looming indictment an \u201coutrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.\u201d McCarthy directed House committees to investigate whether federal funds were used for the looming indictment against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Republican House Chairwoman Elise Stefanik issued a statement criticizing the radical left. Rep. Andy Biggs questioned the justice system in the US, asking why Trump would be indicted before any of the crooks in the Biden family.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake issued a statement defending Trump\u2019s call to protest. \u201cThe President has called for peaceful protests. And I would remind his critics that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution grants us the right to peaceably assemble&#8230;USE IT. And make it very clear that we stand with President Donald J. Trump, and all Americans who are under attack by the corrupt political machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is scheduled to hold his first 2024 campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on March 25.<\/p>\n<div class=\"morearticles\">\n\t\t<strong>Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"post_list\">\n<div class=\"article\">\u2018Huge Tipping Point\u2019: Trump Allies Sound Off on Possible Indictment<\/div>\n<div class=\"article\">Trump Conviction Would Probably Be Overturned on Appeal: Dershowitz<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Continue Reading More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/democrats-republicans-react-to-possible-trump-arrest_5133642.html?utm_source=partner&#038;utm_campaign=conservnewsd\">Democrats, Republicans React to Possible Trump Arrest<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats and Republicans reacted after former President Donald Trump announced his looming indictment and asked his supporters to \u201cprotest\u201d and \u201ctake our nation back.\u201d Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) accused Donald Trump of being \u201creckless.\u201d \u201cThe former president\u2019s announcement this morning is reckless: doing so to keep himself in the news and to foment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":252,"featured_media":1900887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[5175,3685,9065,3756,3634],"class_list":["post-1900886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-epoch-times","tag-arrest","tag-democrats","tag-react","tag-republicans","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1900886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/252"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1900886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1900886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1900887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1900886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1900886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1900886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
