Hailing Friday’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of a Jan. 6 protester against obstruction of justice charges for a “peaceful protest,” presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump repeated his call for President Joe Biden to release the Jan. 6 “hostages.”
“This happened a few hours ago: The Supreme Court ruled that Biden’s Department of Justice has wrongly prosecuted hundreds of Americans for peacefully protesting on Jan. 6,” Trump told a rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, in a speech that aired live and in its entirety on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform.
“Those people have been treated so people have been treated so badly, especially when you compare them with people that ripped apart and killed people in Portland and in Seattle and in other places. They have been treated so badly.”
