  • Trump said that there's a "potential" for "death & destruction" if he's charged by NY prosecutors.
  • It's the third time Trump has alluded to the possibility of political unrest and violence in the last several days.
  • Earlier this week, he employed an anti-Semitic trope against the Manhattan DA and mocked calls for his supporters to stay "peaceful."

Former President Donald Trump made another allusion to violence in a late-night Truth Social post on Friday, writing that if he's charged in connection to a $130,000 hush-money payment to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels, it could result in "potential death & destruction."

It was Trump's latest effort to rile up his base and vilify Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg as he faces a potential indictment from Bragg's office related to the payment.
