Trump news – live: Trump tells rally to vote in ‘giant red wave’ as he rants about ‘weaponised’ justice system

Marjorie Taylor Greene goads Trump supporters into booing Paul Pelosi

Donald Trump spoke at a ‘Save America’ rally in Sioux City, Iowa, on Thursday night in support of Republican candidates in that state ahead of next week’s midterm elections.

“This Tuesday you must vote Republican in a giant red wave,” he told the crowd, promising to end Nancy Pelosi’s career once and for all.

Among those warming up the crowd before the former president spoke was Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and before him, Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene who goaded the crowd into booing Paul Pelosi saying he should have been armed and shot the man who assaulted him, intending to attack his wife. Mr Pelosi was released from the hospital earlier on Thursday.

Meanwhile, much to the former president’s ire, the judge handling New York Attorney General Letitia James’ fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization and Trump family, has ruled an independent monitor will oversee the company, restricting its ability to conduct business.

In addition, CNN reports that as a Trump 2024 run looks likely, Justice Department officials have discussed the potential need for a special counsel for the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago documents investigations. A flurry of activity is expected after the midterms.
