The former president said he expected to be 'arrested' on Tuesday in connection with a grand jury inquiry into a 2016 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The stunning possibility of a former president being arrested has fanned passions and injected considerable uncertainty into the 2024 campaign.Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested this week in connection with a grand jury inquiry into a 2016 payment to a porn star.Mr Trump has called on his backers to protest, with Democrats fearing unrest and violence.
"It just feels like a politically charged prosecution here," said Mr Pence. "I just feel like it's just not what the American people want to see."The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has not confirmed any plans for an indictment, though multiple signs — including the recent appearances before the grand jury of Mr Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen and the porn star known as Stormy Daniels — point to a quick conclusion.
Even Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, an outspoken critic of Mr Trump and a potential rival for the 2024 nomination, suggested an indictment could generate a powerful backlash. Mr Pence, Mr Sununu and other Republicans defended the right to protest any legal action against Mr Trump, so long as people do so peacefully.
"I think it's going to be important for law enforcement to pay attention to protests and make sure it doesn't rise to the level of violence" seen at the Capitol two years ago, Mr Kelly said on CNN.
