Noticias de Trump – en vivo: Donald Trump predice arresto el martes a medida que se avecina una posible acusación

En las redes sociales de extrema derecha, donde chocan los influencers de QAnon y los nacionalistas cristianos, se debate sobre la relevancia de Marjorie Taylor Greene y si Donald Trump es el salvador de una nación y un partido republicano en declive, el anuncio del expresidente de que espera ser arrestado el martes fue la evidencia que necesitaban de que la administración Biden ha armado al gobierno federal contra él.

Trump ha llamado a sus seguidores a «protestar, protestar, protestar», pero a diferencia del ataque del 6 de enero al Capitolio de los EE. investigación del abogado y haciéndose eco de una retórica incendiaria y dramática similar sobre el estado de los Estados Unidos.

Las cuentas de QAnon con muchos seguidores en Truth Social se han hecho eco de su eslogan aceleracionista «confía en el plan» creyendo que el posible arresto de Trump desencadenaría una caída nacional. Otros dijeron que su arresto lo convertiría en un mártir que sus seguidores apoyarían.

El influencer de QAnon The Patriot Voice dijo que la protesta más efectiva sería usar sombreros rojos “MAGA”. Laura Loomer les dijo a sus seguidores que no se presentaran en las afueras de Mar-a-Lago porque es probable que se cierren las calles; en cambio, le dijo a la gente que se presentara en su primer mitin de campaña de 2024 en Texas el 25 de marzo.

Ali Alexander, uno de los organizadores de los mítines Stop the Steal que ahora está haciendo campaña junto al supremacista blanco Nick Fuentes por Kanye West, escribió: “Anteriormente, había dicho que si Trump era arrestado o bajo la amenaza de una caminata criminal, 100,000 patriotas deberían cerrar todas las rutas a Mar-a-Lago. Ahora, estoy jubilado. ¡Sin embargo, rezaré por él!”

También dijo que habló con Alex Jones y que “él tampoco protesta”.

Después de denunciar el comportamiento de Trump en torno al 6 de enero, el exvicepresidente Mike Pence salió en defensa de su exjefe el sábado tras su predicción de que será arrestado la próxima semana.

Su dijo a la radio SiriusXM que la acusación potencial de los fiscales de Nueva York “apesta al tipo de enjuiciamiento político que sufrimos en los días del engaño de Rusia”, refiriéndose a la forma abreviada del Partido Republicano para la investigación de la interferencia rusa de 2016 en las elecciones de ese año, con informes que revelan una red de vínculos entre la campaña de Trump y actores rusos, ninguno de los cuales tiene un engaño.

«¿Esto es lo que el fiscal de distrito de Manhattan dice que es su máxima prioridad?» Pence agregó.

Donald Trump will hold his first 2024 presidential campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on 25 March, within the 30th anniversary period of the deadly 51-day law enforcement siege at the compound of the Branch Davidians religious cult.

A statement from the Trump campaign announcing the rally points to his support among Texas Republican voters in recent polling from a right-wing media firm, finding that the former president leads in the state against potential 2024 rival Ron DeSantis.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned Donald Trump’s “reckless” announcement predicting his arrest, which she said has been used to “keep himself in the news and to foment unrest among his supporters.”

“Whatever the decision is of the Grand Jury, its consideration of this case makes clear: no one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States,” she said in a statement on Saturday.

“He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence. Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable,” she added.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is reportedly engaged in “delicate negotiations with the Secret Service” about how to handle over how to handle Trump’s potential arrest, according to Yahoo News.

“The chief question at the moment is how to work out procedures for an extraordinary and unprecedented scenario: how to arrest, fingerprint – per standard procedure – handcuff a defendant who happens to be a former president and is protected by a group of Secret Service agents,” chief investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff reported.

Trump could be facing felony charges involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, reportedly the subject of an investigation from New York prosecutors.

His former attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to a federal charge relating to a $130,000 payment to Daniels in 2016 to allegedly keep her quiet about her claim that she had sex with Mr Trump.

Cohen was allegedly later repaid the money he gave to her in payments described by Trump’s business as “legal fees,” which could be grounds for felony falsification of business records. Cohen appeared before a grand jury in New York this week for a second time.

Despite not having seen any charges or evidence involving the still-unannounceed indictment against him, leading Republican figures were quick to defend Trump on Saturday after he predicted he would be arrested.

As Republicans dutifully rally around the former president to defend him from possible criminal prosecution before reviewing any evidence or the still-unannounced indictment, lawmakers and activist groups have condemned Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s statement accusing the Manhattan district attorney of an “outrageous abuse of power”.

Mr McCarthy also said he is directing House committees to “immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”

A statement from the Congressional Integrity Project’s Brad Woodhouse said Mr McCarthy “is using his power as speaker of the House of Representatives to attempt to stop justice from taking place, threatening and intimidating those investigating Trump’s alleged wrongdoings with investigations of their own.”

“Kevin McCarthy has turned his speakership over to Trump, election deniers, white nationalist sympathizers and the cult of MAGA and he has lost the moral high ground to lead,” he added.

House Republican conference chair Elise Stefanik said “illegal leaks” about Trump’s arrest – which were announced by Trump himself – are “unAmerican” and claimed that the “radical Left has reached a dangerous new low of Third World countries.”

In a statement full of randomly capitalised words, Ms Stefanik claimed that the “Radical Left will now follow the lead of Socialist dictators and reportedly arrest President Trump, the leading Republican candidate for President of the United States,” because “they cannot beat President Trump at the ballot box.”

“What these corrupt Leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and their Socialist allies fail to understand is that America First Patriots have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and VOTE..to save our great republic,” she added.

Her remarks follow other top Republican officials who rushed to defend the former president without seeing an indictment or prosecution filings outlining the potential allegations and evidence against Mr Trump.

Después de solicitar donaciones de sus seguidores a través de su cuenta Truth Social, Donald Trump invocó una vez más una retórica incendiaria y apocalíptica en torno a su campaña de 2024 y posibles acusaciones penales después de predecir que sería arrestado el martes.

Otra publicación en mayúsculas el sábado, aproximadamente 45 minutos después de pedir a los seguidores que «envíen su contribución» a su campaña, llamó a sus seguidores a «protestar, protestar, protestar» para «salvar a Estados Unidos».

Una vez más afirmó que Estados Unidos está siendo “llevado a la Tercera Guerra Mundial” mientras que la administración Biden está “matando a nuestra nación”.

Un portavoz de Trump dijo que escribió sus publicaciones sin ningún conocimiento directo del momento de ningún arresto.
