"Trump and Republicans defend against Manhattan DA probe delay"

Former President Donald Trump is set to speak at a rally in Waco, Texas, as a grand jury in New York considers whether to bring criminal charges against him for alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. At the rally, Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that conservatives are the "beaten spouse" of the left and argued that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg "should be arrested." House Republicans are considering protecting Trump with a law shielding ex-presidents from prosecution. Ted Nugent called for a "moment of silence for the political prisoners in the gulags of Washington DC," while MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed that Trump's call to Georgia election officials was "the best call in history."
