“What does the White House make of former President Trump calling on his supporters to protest his potential indictment,” the reporter asked.
According to Jean-Pierre, there was an ongoing inquiry and “we do not comment on any ongoing investigations from here.”
“We’ve been very consistent on that, so certainly, I’m not going to break that — kind of break our protocol here, so I won’t comment from here.”
Jean-Pierre responded to the reporter’s question by delving into Trump’s call for his fans to demonstrate and providing intelligent analysis. “The President has been very clear when it comes to Americans who want to protest. They should do it peacefully, and that is something that is incredibly important that the President has always continued to say, but I don’t want to get into hypotheticals from here, so I’ll just leave it there.”
The reporter inquired as to whether House Republicans had requested to talk with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over his current probe of Trump. “Is that the view of the White House of proper use of federal taxpayer dollars to investigate or try to find out what a local prosecutor” is doing?
“Again, I’m just not going to speak” About such, Jean-Pierre added that the query “is an underlying connection to the investigation.”
The anticipation grows as Trump may be in legal jeopardy this week over alleged “hush money” payments made by his attorney Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Whether these payments broke the rules governing campaign funding is the main focus of the inquiry.
The upcoming Tuesday is eagerly anticipated as President Trump discusses his anticipated detention. See the progression of this captivating scenario by tuning in!
