Conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene predicted that former President Donald Trump will win the 2024 presidential race in a “landslide” if he is indicted.
Trump said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday as prosecutors consider charges over alleged hush money payment to a former porn star, Reuters reported.
If Trump is indicted, he could be the first former US president to face a criminal case.
However, Greene predicted that if Trump is indicted of fake charges, it will secure a landslide victory in the 2024 election.
“If they indict President Trump on fake charges, to go after him to try to stop the movement that they cannot stop, he is going to win 2024 in a landslide victory and then we’ll put him in the White House and he will finish what he started,” Greene told Lindell TV.
“We will gut the government of all the traitors that are serving the globalists and America last,” Greene added.
Joseph Tacopina, Trump’s lawyer, said the former president would surrender to face criminal charges if he is indicted.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump posted.
Fox News released this report on Friday:
“We are learning that the Manhattan DA’s office has asked for a meeting with law enforcement ahead of a potential Trump indictment. This is coming to Fox News from a source in the courts. The meeting, which was requested yesterday and has not been set yet, is to discuss logistics for some time next week, which would mean that they are anticipating an indictment next week. The same source familiar with the planning said they will go over security preparations in and around the courthouse in lower Manhattan. Secret service will take the lead in what they will allow or will not allow.”
