Former U.S. President Donald Trump warned there could be violence if he’s indicted in New York in an escalation of verbal attacks on prosecutors as a Manhattan grand jury is expected next week to resume its investigation of him for potential crimes.
In a post after midnight on Friday on his Truth Social platform, Trump asked how a former president could be charged with a crime given that "potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?”
Trump has been making a torrent of posts on his social media platform criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the other state and federal prosecutors who are investigating him in Washington and Georgia.
