Former President Donald Trump has a one-week campaign break on the calendar as he prepares for another run-in with the law a departure from the first two criminal indictments he faced this year.
Trump made no public official campaign stops in the five days before each of his first two impeachments, in New York and Florida. But while the targeted letter about efforts to overturn the 2020 election sent to the former president on July 16 refers to another likely indictment and subsequent arraignment, he has events lined up with supporters immediately this time.
On Tuesday, the former president will attend a campaign fundraising event in New Orleans, with tickets costing $23,200 per person/per couple. On Friday, Trump will speak at the Republican Party of Iowas 2023 Lincoln Dinner along with most of the other 2024 GOP presidential candidates. And on Saturday, the former president will host his first rally in battleground Pennsylvania since announcing his reelection bid.
Trump also uses the specter of an impeachment in his fundraising tactics. A fundraising email paid for by a group affiliated with his campaign included this statement in an email to potential donors on Monday: Any day now, the Biden Department of Justice could INDICT and ARREST me again as an innocent man.
The Trump campaign told NBC News that it does not intend to stop the campaign schedule this week. People who receive letters targeting federal investigations are often, but not always, indicted.
He has a solid schedule this week with trips to Iowa and Pennsylvania, and no one will stand in the way or distract him, not even Joe Bidens armed Justice department, who is back in the White House, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.
