Don Jr.’s ominous warning to people who ‘sold out’ Donald Trump after January 6 presidential election
Donald Trump Jr. has issued a stark warning to those who “sold out” President-elect Donald Trump after the January 6 riots.
Trump Jr., 46, told Charlie Kirk on his Real America’s Voice show that those who abandoned his father after rioters stormed the Capitol amid claims the election was stolen by Joe Biden are now in “major, big problems’.
He said on Kirk’s podcast: “You could have been with us sooner – but if you sold out, if you believed in the story, if you said, ‘Oh my God, it’s worse than Pearl Harbor, you know, and 9/11 combined’… that’s the new day one.
“Now you have four years where we know what we are doing, where we have the opportunity to start all over again with people who we know are absolute fighters for the movement.
‘Now you’re stuck with that for four years. Now, as Billy Madison would say, now you’re all in big, big trouble.”
The January 6, 2021 riots saw numerous Trump supporters storm the Capitol in Washington DC to disrupt a session of Congress called to certify the results of the 2020 election.
Trump encouraged a crowd of people to walk “down Pennsylvania Avenue” to the Capitol to “fight like hell.”
The riots, described by the FBI as “domestic terrorism,” injured 140 police officers, four of whom have since committed suicide. Three alleged rioters also died, with one shot and killed by police, another dying of a heart attack and one apparently crushed to death in the crowd.

Since then, the federal government has filed criminal charges against more than 1,500 people and is reportedly still looking for more alleged participants.
To date, more than 1,000 people have pleaded guilty or been found guilty on a range of charges.
While Trump was acquitted of charges by the Senate during his 2021 impeachment trial following the Capitol riot, the federal case against him is ongoing.
Just twelve days before the November 5 elections Trump’s legal team has asked the judge to dismiss the entire case by claiming that the office of Jack Smith, the special prosecutor leading the case, is unconstitutional.
Trump’s lawyers argued, “Everything Smith did since the appointment of Attorney General (Merrick) Garland, as President Trump continued his leadership campaign against President Biden and then Vice President Harris, was unlawful and unconstitutional.”
During his presidential campaign this year, he promised that granting “a full pardon with an apology to many” would be a top priority for him.
This promise is beginning to have an impact on criminal cases against alleged rioters federal judge last month postponed a case against a Kansas man after successfully arguing that the president-elect had made public promises to pardon or otherwise end the prosecution of alleged rioters.
William Pope, representing himself, told U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras: “The American people have given President Trump a mandate to carry out the agenda he campaigned on, including ending the January 6 prosecutions and issuing a pardon to those who exercised the First Amendment in the Capitol.

“This outcome and the new mandate of the people justify that my process will continue in the next government.”
Contreras granted the request, postponing the trial scheduled for Dec. 2 until at least February 2025, four years after he was first charged with a riot charge and other misdemeanor and disorderly conduct charges.
Another judge set the trial date for April 15 for three defendants after a prosecutor admitted she did not know whether the case would proceed if Trump came to power.
Elita Amato, attorney for one of the defendants, told the Washington Post: “[The judge] asked the prosecutor what they might or might not ultimately do in the case, but she really couldn’t say.
“The judge was willing to go [later] to give everyone more time to see what will happen.”
