Donald Trump has called for prosecutors to file charges against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, citing the Democrat's use of the phrase "maximum warfare." The demand, made public on Tuesday, did not specify which of Jeffries' comments Trump was referring to or what legal statutes might apply.
The demand
Trump accused Jeffries of employing rhetoric that he claimed encourages violence. The former president offered no evidence or examples beyond the “maximum warfare” remark. Jeffries, a New York Democrat, has not responded to the request. No formal charges have been announced.
