United States President, Donald Trump, has called for criminal charges of incitement to violence against top Democratic lawmaker, Hakeem Jeffries, increasing his push to use the legal system against his political rivals.
Trump shared a social media post on Thursday, attempting to link past comments by the minority leader in the House of Representatives to the White House correspondents’ dinner shooting incident that targeted the US president.
Trump wrote that Jeffries should be charged with inciting Violence as the Radical who Left Democrats actually want to Destroy their Country.
Recall that after returning to the White House last year, the US president has successfully pushed for criminal charges against political opponents, including New York Attorney General, Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey.
