On the heels of his criminal indictment, Trump's supporters protest in Orange County
On Saturday — two days after a grand jury indicted former President Trump, securing his place in history as the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges — a small group of supporters gathered in Orange County to protest the indictment.
During the gathering near the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday afternoon, the group of roughly 40 people flew “Make America Great Again” flags and chanted "God bless Trump!" At one point, two demonstrators were hit on their heads with skateboards during a clash.
Because the indictment remains sealed, the precise criminal charges aren't yet clear, but the investigation presented to the grand jury in New York focused on Trump's alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the final push of his 2016 campaign.
The indictment marks only one of the potential legal problems for Trump, who has declared that he will seek the presidency again in 2024. He also faces investigations into his alleged involvement in 2020 election interference by his supporters and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, as well as his handling of classified documents after leaving office.
