Exclusive — Rep. Jeff Van Drew: Democrats Afraid Donald Trump Will Take Out ‘Corruption’ if He Wins in 2024

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) told Breitbart News Saturday that, in the context of the Donald Trump indictment, Democrats are afraid he will enter the Oval Office again because he will “let the truth ring out” and take down corruption in D.C.

Van Drew, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, spoke to Breitbart News Saturday host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle as a New York grand jury decided to indict Donald Trump, making him the first former president to face criminal charges. Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, indirectly received financing from leftist billionaire George Soros. Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, which then donated to Bragg’s candidacy.

Van Drew, a former Democrat who quit the party due to impeachment against Donald Trump, said that the Democrats are afraid of what Trump may do should he get reelected in 2024.

He explained to Breitbart News Saturday, “This is a disease with the Democrats at this point. They just can’t stop. We had one impeachment, we had another impeachment, we had the Russian collusion, we had the stuff with Ukraine, that’s only to mention a few. They just can’t leave it alone. They are in my opinion, so afraid of this man, because they know, if he wins the presidency of the United States again, that he will let the truth ring out. He will crack that ugly egg called Washington, DC, and let out of the stench and corruption and everything else.”

Van Drew referred to Bragg as a “half-ass local DA” who is going after Trump for what is basically a “misdemeanor.”

The New Jersey Republican slammed Bragg for pursuing Trump while New York City is “dirtier and more unsafe and more dangerous than it ever was.”

Report: Manhattan Judge to Put ‘Gag Order’ on Donald Trump

The legal team representing former President Donald Trump reportedly expects that the Manhattan judge will put a gag order on him as the case awaits trial.

A source close to the legal team told the Daily Mail the judge will take an “unprecedented step” to silence the 2024 presidential candidate. The gag order could potentially undercut his ability to campaign on the issue of legal corruption during the primary.

“The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow,” the source said. “The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.”

Trump breaking the gag order could potentially see him slapped with a $1,000 fine and as many as 30 days in jail, per New York law. Despite the pending order, the former president still plans to make a speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening after peacefully submitting himself to the prosecution in New York. Per the Associated Press:

Trump will hold the event at his Mar-a-Lago club after returning from Manhattan, where he is expected to voluntarily turn himself in. He is expected to be joined in Florida by supporters as he tries to project an image of strength and defiance and turn the charges into a political asset to boost his 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump aides and lawyers had been going back and forth over the wisdom of his appearing before reporters after the arraignment as they grasped the news of an indictment that caught many of them by surprise. Trump has been catapulted back into the headlines by the criminal charges and he relishes media attention, and while some of his lawyers would have preferred he stay silent, his campaign believes the development has energized his supporters.

His legal team also plans to file a motion to have the case dismissed immediately.

“We will take the indictment. We will dissect it,” Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told CNN on Sunday morning. “The team will look at every, every potential issue that we will be able to challenge, and we will challenge. And of course, I very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there’s no law that fits this.”

After the indictment was handed down last week, legal experts floated the idea that Bragg would implement a gag order.

“I think it’s not only a possibility, but it’s extremely likely that there will be a gag order in the case,” Duncan Levin, a former federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice, told Insider. “Gag orders are very common in criminal cases, particularly in cases where there is an enormous amount of pretrial publicity like this one.”

As Breitbart News reported, the indictment has catapulted the former president in the 2024 primary polls, putting him well ahead of his closest potential opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Barr: Trump Should Not Testify in Hush Money Case Because ‘He Lacks All Self-Control’

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that former President Donald Trump should not testify in the criminal case against him into alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels because “he lacks all self-control.”

Anchor Shannon Bream said, “So he is facing other cases. We’ve got special counsel investigating the Mar a-Lago, the documents, the January 6 lead-up. As somebody who headed up the DOJ, are you confident they can be neutral and they will be in this case?”

Barr said, “I hope they will be. As I have said repeatedly, I think the document case is the most serious case. I don’t think they went after those documents to get Trump. I think they actually wanted the documents back. What’s at issue, in that case, is not the taking of the documents. It’s what he did after the government sought them and subpoenaed them and whether there was any obstruction. I think that’s the most serious one out there. The other one, I think the January 6 one, is a difficult case to make. It also runs into First Amendment issues. Where are you going to draw the line between legitimate first amendment activity, protesting an election and actually conspiring to undo an election? That’s a difficult case to make. I’m hopeful the department will approach it properly.”

Bream said, “I asked you if the president was your client, would you put him on the stand? I’m thinking if it goes to trial, he’s going to want to defend himself.”

Barr said, “I’m not his lawyer, but generally, I think it’s a bad idea to go on the stand, and I think it’s a particularly bad idea for Trump because he lacks all self-control. It’d be very difficult to prepare him and keep him testifying in a prudent fashion.”
