Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Saturday denounced Donald Trump’s “reckless” posts urging supporters to protest his looming indictment and possible arrest.
“No one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States,” the California congresswoman tweeted, hours after Trump posted an all-caps missive to Truth Social telling followers that he “WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”
“PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump wrote.
“The former president’s announcement this morning is reckless: doing so to keep himself in the news & to foment unrest among his supporters,” Pelosi tweeted.
“He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence,” she added.
He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for our elections and incitements to violence.
Rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold him accountable.

Representative Adam Schiff slammed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for “playing the part of criminal defense counsel to shield Trump from accountability.”
“Heedless of the consequences to the country, he stirs the pot, and calls for an investigation of the investigators,” Schiff wrote. “It’s all part of Trump’s playbook.”
Here we go again:
Kevin McCarthy once again playing the part of criminal defense counsel to shield Trump from accountability.
Heedless of the consequences to the country, he stirs the pot, and calls for an investigation of the investigators.
It’s all part of Trump’s playbook.

Representative Eric Swalwell also chimed in on the anticipaated arrest and tweeted, “It was Donald Trump who broadcasted to the world the FBI raided his home to retrieve top secret documents. And it’s Donald Trump who has broadcasted to the world that he’ll soon be arrested.”
“His goal is acts of violence in his name. And we must be prepared to protect against it,” Swalwell added.
