Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on Thursday, about 26 months after leaving office. He is to be arraigned Tuesday in New York, court officials said. While we do not yet know what specific charges are being levied against him, the investigation stemmed from the hush-money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Many of Trumps top Republican allies have come out with statements denouncing the indictment.
After sharing a prepared statement on Truth Social decrying the \"Political Persecution,\" Trump has been sharing clip after clip from right-wing news networks like Fox News that covered his indictment, along with his allies' Truth Social posts. Thats between his apparently off-the-cuff posts about what he calls the Witch Hunt Case.\"
Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said his client was initially shocked to hear hed been indicted.
The Biden White House has declined to comment.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who polls show would be Trump's strongest rival for the GOP nomination, denounced the indictment as \"un-American\" and said his state would harbor Trump as a fugitive if he doesn't surrender.

Another potentially leading contender, former Vice President Mike Pence, called the indictment an \"outrage.\"

\"This is more about revenge than it is about justice,\" wrote Nikki Haley, who announced her White House run in February.

Vivek Ramaswamy, another declared GOP presidential candidate, called the indictment wrong and dangerous.

If this had been anybody else other than Donald Trump on this set of facts, it would have been charged as a misdemeanor at most, if at all, Ramaswamy said. Yet, what we see right now is a ruling party in our country that will stop at nothing, even using police force to arrest its political opponents.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who is reportedly considering a presidential announcement, said Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg acted for pure political gain.

The lefts continued attempts to weaponize our judicial system erode peoples faith in the American justice system and it needs to stop, Youngkin tweeted.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, another likely contender, echoed Youngkin, calling on Bragg to spend taxpayers money and your energy protecting law-abiding citizens. Not playing politics.

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Trump critic who is considering entering the race, struck a different tone, urging Americans to be patient.

\"We need to wait on the facts and for our American system of justice to work like it does for thousands of Americans every day, Hutchinson said in a statement.","source":"","title":"Declared And Likely GOP Presidential Hopefuls React To Trump News","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"6213700de4b08ee35ee54721","fullName":"Marita Vlachou","bio":{"text":"Marita Vlachou is a breaking news reporter for HuffPost based in London, United Kingdom.","microText":"Breaking News Reporter, HuffPost"},"urls":{"twitter":"@maritavlachou"},"urlName":{"text":"marita-vlachou","transliterated":"marita-vlachou"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-03-31T10:15:24.18Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-03-31T19:52:27.143Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Mar 31, 2023, 6:15 AM EDT"},"social":{},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"6213700de4b08ee35ee54721","fullName":"Marita Vlachou","slug":"marita-vlachou","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":750,"height":562,"credit":"","ops":"scalefit_960_noupscale,quality_75"},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/marita-vlachou"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg","queryParams":{},"credit":""},"type":"image","common":{"id":"64269e7ee4b0b2ba232179ef","caption":"Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday said the Manhattan grand jury that voted to indict former President Donald Trump \"acted upon the facts and the law.\"

Cohen, who testified before the grand jury, addressed the suggestion that Trump's indictment is less significant than the other criminal investigations the former president is facing, for instance over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

\"I always called this the Al Capone theory,\" Cohen said.

\"They couldnt get him on murder, extortion, racketeering, bootlegging, etc. They got him on tax evasion. If that crime, Don, was enough for me to be charged, fined, convicted and sent to prison, why am I any different from Donald Trump? he added.

Cohen orchestrated the $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in the days before the 2016 election on behalf of the former president.

Trump has denied the allegation.

Cohen added that he wouldn't like to see Trump \"paraded\" during his arrest, expected on Tuesday.

\"Personally, I dont want to see him paraded that way, Cohen said. \"Because hes the former president of the United States.

Carlsons guest, right-wing activist Ned Ryun, also warned that America was headed for a one-party state and authoritarian government and urged Republicans to take up a policy of mutually assured destruction against Democrats, whom he accused of launching nukes at us.

Probably not the best time to give up your AR-15, and I think most people know that, Carlson commented after Ryuns spiel.

Carlson hyped up the possibility of impending armed conflict for his entire show. Noting the recent mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, and Donald Trumps indictment, Carlson had earlier asked a guest, It almost feels like they're pushing the population to react. We think theyre demoralized and passive, let's see if they really are. At what point do we conclude theyre doing this in order to produce a reaction?

Later, another guest, commentator Jason Whitlock, agreed with Carlsons assessment, saying, They are agitating for unrest, thats the only way to interpret this.

Im ready for whatevers next, and I hope every other man out there watching this show I hope youre ready for whatevers next, Whitlock added later. If thats what they want, lets get to it.

It feels like this is not the behavior of people who want the current system to continue, Carlson responded. Whitlock concluded his appearance by referring to elites, saying they are the devils, theyre the ones that dont believe in God.

Jason Whitlock, I agree, thank you very much, Carlson responded.","source":"","title":"'Probably Not The Best Time To Give Up Your AR-15,' Tucker Carlson Tells Viewers","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"63320c38e4b0e376dbee6479","fullName":"Matt Shuham","bio":{"microText":"Reporter, HuffPost National Desk"},"urls":{},"urlName":{"text":"matt-shuham","transliterated":"matt-shuham"},"profileUrl":{"name":"641b5efe2300001900292b15","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-03-31T01:29:43.801Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-03-31T19:52:27.143Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Mar 30, 2023, 9:29 PM EDT"},"social":{},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"63320c38e4b0e376dbee6479","fullName":"Matt Shuham","slug":"matt-shuham","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/641b5efe2300001900292b15.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/matt-shuham"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":"

Heres The Latest

If youre just joining us Friday, here are some key updates:

Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on Thursday, about 26 months after leaving office. He is to be arraigned Tuesday in New York, court officials said . While we do not yet know what specific charges are being levied against him, the investigation stemmed from the hush-money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Many of Trumps top Republican allies have come out with statements denouncing the indictment .
After sharing a prepared statement on Truth Social decrying the "Political Persecution," Trump has been sharing clip after clip from right-wing news networks like Fox News that covered his indictment, along with his allies' Truth Social posts. Thats between his apparently off-the-cuff posts about what he calls the Witch Hunt Case."
Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said his client was initially shocked to hear hed been indicted.
The Biden White House has declined to comment.

Trump To Speak Tuesday Evening

The Associated Press reports Trump will hold an event at his Mar-a-Lago club after returning from Manhattan, where he is expected to voluntarily turn himself in. He is expected to be joined in Florida by supporters as he tries to project an image of strength and defiance and turn the charges into a political asset to boost his 2024 presidential campaign.

At Least One Felony Charge: Report

More news about the indictment continues to trickle out. The Associated Press reported Friday evening that at least one of the charges against Trump is a felony charge, according to two people familiar with the matter. He's reportedly facing more than 30 counts total.
