Former President Donald Trump called the man accused of killing five people at a Wisconsin Christmas parade over the weekend a “rough cookie” – adding that the ex -con should not have been released on bail in an unrelated case.

“He came out on bail and he was a rough cookie,” Trump said of Darrell Brooks, 39, in an hour -long interview with Fox News ’Sean Hannity on Tuesday night. The 45th president added that “based on early reporting, he should not have come out.”

Brooks was charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but prosecutor Susan Opper said Tuesday she would be hit with a sixth count following the death of Jackson Sparks, 8, who was in critical condition after the attack. .

The aspiring rapper – who was ordered to be held on $ 5 million bond in his first court appearance on Tuesday – was only released because he was cut on a $ 1,000 bond after allegedly punching and running over his son’s mother at a gas station in November. .

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office said Monday it has launched an internal investigation into how Brooks was offered such a low bond because of the seriousness of the allegations and his criminal history.

The former president said Brooks came on “very low bail.”

“She should not go out. He should never, “Trump said.” Do you think? I looked at that car coming in … I had never seen anything like it … It was all because of a bad person. … A horrible, horrible situation. I mean, it’s bad. ”
