Former US President Donald Trump has warned there could be violence if he is charged in New York in an escalation of verbal attacks on prosecutors as a Manhattan grand jury next week is expected to resume its investigation into possible crimes.
In a post after midnight Friday on his Truth Social platform, Trump asked how a former president could be charged with a crime given that "the potential death and destruction on such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country."
