Prosecutors say the former president tried to hang on to power through a ‘criminal scheme.’ But Trump’s attorney says he was only following the advice of counsel, and argues a partisan prosecutor is trying to criminalize free speech and legal actions. NBC News’ Garrett Haake has more details on the four felony counts Trump is facing.

#NBCNews #Trump #Indictment
boy, for being such a big mouth blow-hard, he sure is sheepish every time he has to show up at the courthouse…..
Bullllllllll 💩 them lawyer’s gone cover for the orange dumpster thats insane that orange dumpster knows what he done on jan 6 🤬🤬🤬🤷♂️🙈🙈
I barely knew my co-conspirators. I think some of them may have conspired to bring me coffee once or twice.
Sham indictment from the criminal establishment
Bitter maga tears are the most tasty. Deal with it snowflake.
Good.✊🏿
January 2, 2021
President Trump and his defense department reach out to the Capital Police and ask if they will need National Guard troops for added security of the Capital.
January 3, 2021
Capital Police Chief advises DOD that troops will not be needed. Later in the day after further review and assessment of security threats the Capital Police Chief acknowledged that radical groups will be intermingled among capital protestors attending the rally and that violence could not be ruled out.
January 4, 2021,
Capital Police Chief determines that National Guard troops will be needed for added Capital security. He then begins the process for acquisition of these troops by advising the sergeants at arms of both houses and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, lead members of both houses. The Chief’s request is denied by Pelosi.
January 5, 2021
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser writes a letter to the Department of Defense stating that National Guard troops will not be allowed into the city thus refusing Trump’s offer of added security for the capital.
The DOD stands ready regardless.
January 6, 2021
In his speech to the attendees on that day Trump acknowledges that the rally will “Peacefully and Patriotically” march to the capital and let their “voices be heard”.
During the four days of Jan. 2–Jan.5 Pelosi and Schumer and Bowser could have hardened the security of the Capital by utilizing the National Guard made available by the Trump administration. Instead they rejected the troops and were derelict in their duties to the Capital, the members of Congress and the American people.
That was my Birthday I was 29 years old that time wow Hope that President Donald trump would be in prison for 888000 years
@Nicholas ray Powers
Well… We’ll never live long enough to see that.
🇺🇸Vote Trump 24🇺🇸
Shame !!! Donald Trump.
What a loser.
Trump thinks that money talks and walks without repercussion, I still would not vote for him unless it’s for his self going to prison. Lock up Trump.
You are a nobody anyways.😂
The American people should have the right to see TFG walk into the courthouse, and for the proceedings to be televised in their entirety.
We’ve been subjected to his face and voice nonstop for over 7 years. Why hide him now?
A squeaky whiney crying voice about victimhood is a sign of strength, trump?
What school did you cheat your way thru?
Strength is truth. Everything else follows. You never understood that did you?
@Davidwell 1. Diaper boy don is a racist who divided the country. 2. Many families do not speak anymore because of diaper ham face don. 3. Our taxes were raised. 4. He did nothing about covid until it was rampant. Should I go on????
@nanchangerI would like to see your maga tears when he is in a ⚰️😂😂😂😂😂

LOCK HIM UPPPPPP!
I did make all People die 1993-2023 including my uncle Dobie and my Auntie Bobie my Grandpa and my Grandma
We’re all (including trumpo) going to be dead from old age before anything real happens to the fascist trust fund clown. I doubt he’ll ever see the inside of a jail much less the inside of a prison. It’s the big American lie.
I sure hope Hilary is OK. Too much laughing can lead to dehydration and dizziness.
If you support Hillary you support corruption in our government. Period!
Don’t worry, she’s not a friend to herself, she won’t die of a suicide
@Tze3451 And she gracefully accepted the loss and
@Ken Kubesh accepted*
@Tze3451 Thanks , funny how you miss those little things.
Including Micheal Jackson Tony Bennett other famous people die also sports people also
I can identify them no matter how many times they change there skin suit , woke nation is a nation of nothing to loose, everyone was warned but still they choose this route
And George Floyd aBecause all police officers 👮♀️ agreed with me people are dying in the crazy weather forecast
Ha ha no way all police officers would not lock me up in prison how disgusting rude
About time!
Justice for Vindman and his brother as well.
Wow. Well with all of these indictments, I still will vote for Trump 2024 👍🏿
Good insight. The reason why this is happening to Trump is because He is a REAL AMERICAN!
@DavidWhat exactly is a “real American” in your crystal view? We slaughtered real Americans, took their land and jailed them on reservations. You sleep through history and civics classes?
Were is the insurrection act charge why isn’t he being held accountable for that the poor police that died should be honored by holding him accountable for the violance he did on Jan 6 why wasn’t he
This brightens my whole month.
FASCIST 🇷🇺🇨🇳☠️👌 REPUBLICAN’$..
RIP MAGAts 😂
LOCK THIS TRAITOR ALLEY RAT UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. LOCK THE RAT UP.
👍
A day without Trump is a day full of Sunshine 🌞

Lives rent free in your head, dark days ahead for you…
The leader of the Mob.
Many of the Mob received federal prison sentences.

@David https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvh4o6x3-GQ&ab_channel=PowerfulJRE
Is he going to get fingerprinted and mugshot
And denied bail
If it was one of us normal people that will happen to us
Serious charges trump finally getting his karma
Charge them all Biden is a joke wake up you have to be blind if you can’t see what is going on
*NBC why haven’t you been reporting on the biggest news this week? It is almost like you are trying to hide the story? President Biden knew of his son business and was even on speakerphone when son Hunter was with business associates. Trump was even joking that something like this would happen to try and shift the focus away from the real news.*
Clown 🤡
@Pace Yourself So, what you’re saying is that you don’t care if Biden and his son sold out the USA to the Ukraine or China. You don’t care if we spend billions on their war. Why is that? Is that because, Trump was such a bad man that he spent billions on a false flag war. Did he sent any country our military weaponry? Did he meet with NATO and claim to have denied the Ukraine membership, yet, turned right around and sent more money and encouraged the rest of NATO to do the same. Why is it we are so invested in their war exactly? Meanwhile all you can do is be a CLOWN and support an obviously corrupt president who suffers from mental illness. We have seen this publicly. Trump has always been his self.
Lock up all White Men
Now that was stated like a TRUE RACIST! I’M older Black man, I disagree with you. I MIGHT be wrong, but I bet you are a SNEAKY SNAKE if there ever was one.
Trump wanted to make history. Well… he succeeded. He is the biggest embarrassment and loser in US history.
He did not get a chance to build that fu–kin boarder wall, you know? Now DOPE IS IN THE WHITEHOUSE!
Its comical how Trump thinks even bad attention is still good attention. He will ruin your country if youre not careful, make an example of him!
@Mad Audi You come up with that B.S! THIS country was BOUGHT AND FOUGHT FOR! The people that were on SOME of this land , who were at war with some people who were RELATED TO THEM, SOLD EACH OTHER OUT!.What do you mean “Native Americans”? This country did not have a name until founding fathers named it! And how do YOU KNOW WHO WAS HERE FIRST?
@Mad Audi By the way, MY FOREFATHERS did not SNEAK OVER HERE! They too were SOLD OUT BY THEIR OWN AFRICAN PEOPLE. They were sold to some PORTUGUESE,and those Portuguese sold them to some people over here and they were “shipped” here. First Black Americans DID NOT SNEAK OVER!
@David David. If you have to scream in comments to make a point… you’re prolly lying.
@David Frankie Say Relax 😌
@David Ellis Frankie fos.frankie should mind own business.
Hey Trump lawyers, your client just blamed you. Sucks to be you guys.
Still plenty of time for 4 indictments in 4 months. 😂
https://youtube.com/shorts/l11YmOxECkg?feature=share
https://youtube.com/shorts/hAhe5ZS2cOk?feature=share
nothing will happen
Are you a child?
@Mad Audi Are you blind?
@Discord Moderator I’m not blind.
Even given the listening to his lawyers advice excuse, it’s only advice given–he has the choice to take it or leave it as he has displayed countless times w/ his endless procession of mouthpieces. He chose to take said advice merely because it played to what he believed to be his advantage, plain & simple. His choice–his responsibility…his culpability…his crime. He can try to throw as many under the bus as he pleases, but that bus will inevitably back up over him as well in the end.
But, but…. Her emails!
“Nobody is above the law” except for Hillary and Biden I guess
trump is the greasy spray tan stain of US history
How about leaving Trump alone and going after the real criminals in office and his family. Wheres Pelosis criminals charges?!
Its so obvious whats going on here and its pathetic. Theyre reaching for whatever they can. 🇺🇲MAGA🇺🇸
I believe Trump won the election too.
I AGREE 💯!
Your butthurt and ignorance has been noted. Happy 3rd Indictment Day!
Trump needs an “indictment punch card” where the 10th indictment is free…
LOL@that! 👍
Career criminal Joe Biden is going to have an impeachment inquiry. Let’s see how that goes for him.
Embarrassing for Americans.
Now he HAS to win the presidency,otherwise he will go to prison.
OMG … How it possible in great America so many lawyers was involved with the biggest criminal in whole world criminal Mafia trumps Coue plot in jay 6th ????????????????????????????
Pray this now please 🙏
“CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD,
Please help me against evil and all who favor it. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen.”
Please bow your head and pray this prayer now 🙏 pray the words as you read them if you cannot look and remember
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
#BidenCrimeFamily
@nanchanger
The ENTIRE Trump Crime Family Syndicate WILL go to prison including his Filthy Kids.
Count on it!
A CRIMINAL!! THATS FORSURE!!
Trump was told MANY TIMES that he LOST the election by his own administration. H REFUSED to accept it, simple as that! If he is that stupid and incompetent, he surely does NOT need to be in the WH. This is a man whose ego is so big, he can NOT accept anything short of what HE WANTS! Wake up!
I Want to See this Treasonous Con Go Down and Behind Bars! Leavenworth!
Lester just spooched his pants…
#6 Boris Epstein.
*TRUMP (not his real name) FAMILY go back to 1830/40s when ARISTOCRACY were being replaced around EUROPE & the Wealthy Barons & such were LEAVING with their WEALTH to the USA.* _The USA was fertile ground to CREATE the PARTY called the REPUBLICANS whose MISSION has been to BECOME KINGS AND LORDS of the NEW WORLD ever since._ *The Citizens of the USA simply don’t know this!* – m.
Oh God, just jail him already….it’s like pulling teeth!!…just throw his azz in jail.
Jail time for trump??😊
Jail the womanizer
Lock Him Up it sounds familiar
Trump once said the he could shoot someone in the street in New York City and get away with it. “Teflon Don” is not worried.
Sweet!
And well deserved.
Shame on all the enablers of trump
Same should be said for Crackhead Hunter. He needs a rock and a pipe you got one ?
Congratulations Democrats. You broke the glass ceiling and officially devolved our country into a Banana Republic. Next stop, kangaroo court! 🦘🏛
It couldn’t happen to a better orange man.

The American people are witnessing corruption protecting itself by eliminating a candidate who threatens their control of the media, the government, and the people.

He Did
Teflon Don

Sun bears are extremely dangerous too. They are the only species of bear that will attack you unprovoked. They also have a greater bite force than other bears. Bears have been my favorite animal since I was 8 & at 45 I still find myself looking for bear content.
The lengths the government will go to in order to control the people is devastating. This is the result of a president who isnt bought and sold by the feds.
I wonder what Orwell would think? we’re witnessing someone actually being charged criminally for “thought crimes”
mrs. thug’mp, has gotten the VIP. treatment way too long, ,,,,,🇺🇸😡🇺🇸
!!! 😮 past news,!!!
