Trump warns of ‘death and destruction’ if charged

Former president Donald Trump has warned of potential “death and destruction” if he is charged in the investigation of hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump’s Friday comment came a week after he claimed he would be arrested over the case and urged his supporters to protest.

“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
