Former US president hoping to put on show of strength in first rally of 2024 presidential campaign as he faces possible charges over ‘hush money’ payments
Like others at the rally, Hansen dismissed talk that Trump might be prosecuted over allegations that he violated campaign finance laws for paying hush money to an adult film actress, or hoarded top-secret documents, or masterminded a plot seeking to overturn the 2020 election.
In an email, a Trump campaign spokesperson said Waco was chosen because it is situated between several major population centres and has the infrastructure to host a large event. “Trump is walking on a high wire without a net, telegraphing that he has nothing to lose and is willing to risk dangerous outcomes to rally support,” said Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist in Washington.
Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian at New York University, said he would be watching to see whether Trump explicitly references conspiracy theories related to the siege, similar to how he promoted lies about a stolen 2020 election in the run-up to his supporters’ assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
