“It’s Biden’s supporters who are funding what’s happening with the Palestinians. It’s probably not the Palestinians. They’re the agitators — bad agitators, really bad. And our government. “I think we should figure out who they are and where they’re from, and treat them like the J6 hostages,” Trump said outside court on January 6, 2021. He said this in reference to the protesters who breached the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
“We have to treat them the same. They’re agitators. They’re really damaging our country. It’s happening all over the country and in cities.”

“This witch hunt is a false ancient history that was judged entirely by the voters in the 2016 presidential election.

This is a vicious attack on me, a political opponent of Biden, by Soros-backed prosecutor Alvin Bragg, in close coordination with the Justice Department and the White House. It’s illegal, unconstitutional, and technically a third world country!”
Trump said after the court session that it was a “very important day, a very revealing day,” adding that the case was “totally falling apart.” He did not specifically mention Daniels in his comments.
