Usa news: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Americans should not protest if Donald Trump is indicted, contradicting calls from the former president to “Protest! Take our nation back!”<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think people should protest this, no,\u201d McCarthy said at a news conference at a Republican retreat in Florida Sunday. \u201cAnd I think President Trump, if you talk to him, he doesn\u2019t believe that, either.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody should harm one another,” he said. “We want calmness out there.”<\/p>\n
McCarthy’s comments conflict with a message posted by Trump on social media Saturday, when he said that he expects to be arrested Tuesday in connection with a Manhattan district attorney investigation.<\/p>\n
The former president predicted that he will be arrested for his role in making an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to an adult film actress in the waning days of the 2016 election to silence her about claims she’d had an affair with him.<\/p>\n
Still, McCarthy also defended Trump in his news conference, and dismissed the investigation by New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s investigation as politically motivated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
