The Dangerous Consequences of Trump's Verbal Attacks on Prosecutors

Legal experts warn that Donald Trump's attacks on prosecutors investigating criminal charges against him could fuel violence and are aimed at riling up his base. Trump's verbal assaults on prosecutors investigating him are reaching a fever pitch as a Manhattan district attorney's inquiry looks poised to bring charges against him over his key part in a $130,000 hush money payment in 2016 to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump's incendiary attacks against the federal and state inquiries is prompting warnings that Trump's unrelenting attacks on prosecutors could fuel violence, as he did on January 6 with bogus claims that the 2020 was stolen from him and a mob of his backers attacked the Capitol leading to at least five deaths.
