If a Republican prosecutor in 2004 had used a campaign finance technicality to arrest then-candidate John Kerry while Bush &#038; Cheney were in power, liberals would have cried foul\u2014and rightly so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy also said, \u201cThis will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself. I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and to put aside partisan politics in service of preserving our Constitutional republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, he called on former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who recently announced her Republican presidential run, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is also reportedly considering running for the presidency, to denounce Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney supposedly behind the alleged prospective indictment. <\/p>\n<p>Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Bragg, who reportedly received $1 million from left-wing billionaire George Soros\u2019 Color for Change political action committee, for wanting to indict Trump during this surge of violent crime in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Despite reports, Bragg\u2019s office has not publicly confirmed whether Trump will be indicted. Anonymous court sources told various news outlets that the arrest would be related to Trump\u2019s alleged payment of $130,000 to adult actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Trump fiercely criticized Democrats and Bragg in response to the reports. The former president said that \u201cillegal leaks\u201d from the \u201ccorrupt &#038; highly political\u201d Manhattan DA\u2019s office indicate that he will be arrested on March 21.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Protest, take our nation back!&#8221; Trump urged his supporters on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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>Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said that rumors and reports claiming former President Donald Trump could be arrested soon are a \u201cdark moment\u201d in U.S. history. \u201cIt is un-American for the ruling party to use police power to arrest its political rivals,\u201d Ramaswamy, a tech entrepreneur who recently declared his GOP candidacy, wrote on Twitter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":1900903,"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":[],"tags":[5175,5130,4657,6203,4566,5616,3849,4499,3634],"class_list":["post-1900902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-arrest","tag-dark","tag-donald","tag-gop","tag-hopeful","tag-moment","tag-presidential","tag-responds","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\/1900902","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\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1900902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1900902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1900903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1900902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1900902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1900902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
