Trump himself suggested he would be arrested next week while urging his supporters to &#8220;protest, take our nation back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy harked back to his Conservative Political Action Conference address when he called for a national rival instead of a national divorce, something he views as a core tenet of his campaign. &#8220;The case for my candidacy is I am in the camp of a national revival,&#8221; he said in a video accompanying his tweet. &#8220;I think this takes us a step closer to a national divorce. I think that when you politicize the justice system itself to prosecute a political opponent of the party in power, the leading political opponent of the party in power, that is not one small step, but a giant leap towards the national divorce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If indicted, Trump would be the first former US president charged with a crime. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the Manhattan DA&#8217;s investigation is a witch hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy, an underdog in the 2024 contest, further criticized the potential indictment as being rooted in &#8220;ministerial and politicized grounds.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans who have criticized Trump, including Vice President Mike Pence and Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH), both speculated possible 2024 presidential hopefuls, have expressed concerns about the potential legal case against Trump by the Manhattan DA&#8217;s office. Sununu, for instance, suggested that the case relied on an &#8220;untested&#8221; legal theory and highlighted that the alleged payment took place nearly seven years ago. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/ramaswamy-demands-desantis-haley-condemn-trump-indictment\">Vivek Ramaswamy calls for DeSantis and Haley to condemn possible Trump indictment<\/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>Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy demanded fellow 2024 GOP hopeful Nikki Haley and speculated future contender Gov.
