WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – The radical Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has after the indictment of the former US President Donald Trump called to protest. “I’m going to New York on Tuesday,” wrote the ardent Trump supporter on Twitter on Friday, referring to the planned indictment reading. “We must protest against the unconstitutional witch hunt!” Within the framework of constitutional rights, Trump will be supported and “against tyrants” will protest. “I’ll see you on Tuesday.” Greene is on the far right in her party, spreading conspiracy theories and regularly hating minorities.
The district attorney’s office in Manhattan announced an indictment against Republican Trump on Thursday evening. The indictment is still under lock and key – the exact charges and details are therefore still unclear. The New York case involves hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump spoke of “political persecution and electoral interference”. He had called for protests before the indictment.
The appeal brought back memories of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. At that time, Trump incited supporters who then broke into the parliament building. In New York, security around the court in Manhattan has since been increased. According to the media, the indictment is scheduled for next Tuesday. Trump has to travel to New York for the process and would then be briefly detained so that fingerprints and police photos can be taken of him./nau/DP/he
