Former President Donald Trump has called on Congress to intervene in his escalating legal troubles as a potential indictment on criminal charges related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot looms.
What Happened: In a video message released on Tuesday, Trump pleaded with lawmakers to investigate what he claims is “retribution” for “winning” the 2020 election and “election interference regarding the 2024 presidential election.”
"Congress, if you will, please investigate the political witch hunts against me currently being brought by the corrupt DOJ and FBI, who are totally out of control," he said.
