Trump's Tactics Against Prosecutors: A Dangerous Precedent.

Senator Mark Warner criticized former President Donald Trump's call for his supporters to protest a possible arrest as "outrageous behavior" and warned that it could lead to further violence. Trump has indicated he expects to be arrested as a prosecutor in Manhattan investigates his alleged role in a hush money payment. While the FBI has seen no specific threats of violence, Warner noted that the level of rhetoric on some right-wing sites has increased. Many have likened Trump's call for protest to his calls to supporters after the 2020 election that ultimately culminated in the violent attack on the Capitol.
