LUKE MARSDEN opinion Why I think Donald Trump should be running the US again next year Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States.

I’ve literally put a bet on it and in spite of his third federal indictment, I truly believe that given the state of America (and the world) he is exactly the leader we need next year.

The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him.

Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order in the case a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election lossand block the peaceful transition of power. The order – which is different from a so-called “gag order” – would limit what information Trump and his legal team could share publicly about the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Prosecutors pointed specifically to a post on Trump's Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”

The investigation was launched after a recording was leaked in which the former president told the key southern state's top election official to "find" enough votes in his favour.

Trump LOSES appeal and is 'no longer protected by Presidential immunity' in landmark ruling

Donald Trump does not have immunity from charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat, a federal court has ruled.

The US Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s claim that he cannot be prosecuted because the allegations relate to his official responsibilities as President.

The move brings the former POTUS a step closer to an unprecedented criminal trial.
